Add timeless farmland character to your HO scale layout with the Walthers Cornerstone Van Dyke Farm Windmill. This kit includes parts to build two classic wind-driven water pumps — a fixture on North American farms and ranches since the 1880s and still a common sight today. Each tower adjusts to four different heights, so you can vary the look across multiple farm, ranch, and rural scenes from a single kit.
