This is my BOTW:
It is a now crushed and in need of rebuilding lumber mill:
All the cast metal details are under the structure. It is currently stored in a plastic bag inside of a big box. The idiot that shipped it to me placed the most fragile structure (this one) in the bottom of the box underneath everything else. It was the only thing damaged.

What a nice rustic building there! My grandpa has a steam engine at home that was used in a sawmill! Land owner gave it to him and said by the new year (around 2006-2007) to get it off or its gonna get scrapped. I'll get a picture of it soon.

I wouldn't mind having that plumbing supply. It was one of my first and favorite kits. It came from Santa with a big two train Life-Like set years ago. I've still got it, but I'm kind of a hoarder when it comes to things like that.

Ben, I'd take you up on the offer to detail the parts.....I want to make a mold of the toilet in that kit for use in my passenger cars! .........OR if someone has an extra toilet from the Life-Like Clipper Mill Plumbing Supply to spare me long enough to make a mold of it!
