Post Drill Press - Western Scale Models
Grinder - Western Scale Models
Hacksaw - Western Scale Models

This is the largest machine in the Sierra Railroad machine shop. The bed of the planer is 20’ long with an overall width of 7' and height of 10'. In O scale this is 5" X 1 3/4" X 2 1/2" high.  As you can see from the picture, this is an extremely detailed model.

This kit reproduces three of the smaller machines in the Sierra Railroad machine shop. These are a pedestal grinder with two grinding wheels, a post drill with double back gears, and a power hack saw which is a "Marvel" Draw-Cut hack saw with a 6 3/4" stroke. All three are powered by an overhead belt drive. The pulleys and hangers for the overhead belt drive countershaft for each machine is included in the kit.

Mount the “I” beam over a machine, like a lathe, where you need to lift heavy objects in place in order to machine them.  The “I” beam mounts allow you to attach the “I” beam to joists in the ceiling in any position you may need.

The McCabe heavy duty double spindle lathe was purchased second hand for the Sierra Railroad shop in 1911. It is 17 feet long, the bed is 30 inches wide, and the faceplate is 45 inches in diameter. The kit includes 47 white metal castings including overhead pulleys, belt material, and a detail instruction booklet. The model needs a floor space of 1 1/2" x 4 3/4" (O scale).

The radial drill press was purchased second hand for the Sierra Railroad shop around 1900. The kit includes 36 detailed white metal castings including overhead drive pulleys, belt material, wire, and a 13 page instruction booklet with complete description of the drill press and how it works, detailed AutoCAD drawings, several pictures of the prototype drill including a color picture for paint reference. 

The car-wheel borer was purchased second hand for the Sierra Railroad shop in 1909. The kit consists of 34 detailed white metal castings including overhead drive pulleys, belt material, wire, and chain. The instruction booklet includes detailed AutoCAD drawings as well as a complete description of how the machine was used. The models stands 2-1/8" high and needs a floor space of 2" x 2-1/2". This machine would be found wherever freight or passenger car wheels were repaired.

Prototype by Niles-Bement-Pond Tool Company

This 48-inch, 200-ton hydraulic car wheel press was purchased in 1913. The model includes a swing post crane, differential chain hoist, and ceiling hardware. The kit includes 56 detailed white metal castings, belt material, wire, chain, and a 16 page instruction booklet with detailed AutoCAD drawings and a description of how the machine is used. The model stands 4 1/4" high but the post crane can be modified to reduce model height if necessary. A floor space of 2"x4 1/4" is required.
