Machinery

Whazzit?

This is just a step in the evolution of the website. I had some projects that weren’t structures, vehicles or any of the other subjects. Seemed to me that those that are identified as machines could be very well put under that same name.

This Machinery page has sub-pages. You can ‘get there from here’ via the drop-down menu but here’s links directly ..

Coal Breaker – My plans for my layout include coal being brought to the side from a remote mine via On18 and stored in a coal bin. From there it passes to a coal breaker and then to a washery where the coal and trash such as slate are separated. Finally it is transferred to a coal tipple that will fill the larry so it can charge the ovens. This bit here is on the coal breaker.
6 inch Gate valve – I needed three gate valves inside the Pump House. My reasoning was : .. it would add to the ‘mechanical clutter’ in the Pump House. It would just be ‘cool’. I found a good drawing of such a valve in a book published in 1907. This is how I used that to create a copy.
