New Generation mold makers

Thanks to Hass we have a sales and demo facility not 2 hours from home. I will have to visit them. Thing is I don't know if I should get a turning or machining center first. But then I'd better have the proper facility to put these machine tools in. Don't forget that due to the weight, a good base s...

Hey Trainman;
When do you think you will have the lubricator available. You have a sale here for at least 3 of them.
Thanks,

Hi Jim

I,m looking for a set of these number boards for my NKP mike that I have under construction. Will your boards have the brackets with them? When do you think they will be available?

Sissors lift

May I suggest you look at the motorcycle lifts at harbor freight. For less than $200.00 you can get a lift that will handle the Railroad Warehouse heavy mike. Check it out. It is what my son has used to build his loco complete with the weight of the boiler. A very solid piece of equipment.
