| Post subject: | Portable wheel lathe video |
Short video showing the wheel of a diesel locomotive (ALCO HH-660) being re-profiled with a portable track-mounted lathe. The traction motor is powered using a welding machine as power source. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBoyPhn1S3E Footnote: Loco is "Buffalo Creek #43" (formerly RELCO #606), owned by Western New York Railway Historical Society. Read more about the wheel work here: http://www.trainweb.org/wnyrhs/bc432009.htm Recent news here: http://www.trainweb.org/wnyrhs/bc432012.htm I have no affiliation with this group.
