The old metal rollers, had a set just like that where I did my apprenticeship. Had Corrugated ones too for rolling Galv Iron into water tanks.
Very cool, too bad its way over my train budget
Really neat video, Wish they would of went a little more in depth, but cool to see the overview.
Fun!! Great Video, JazzDad, I have Forty Acres and it would have been fun to build one of these back when I might have been able to afford one. Having been a tool and die maker who owned his own shop, access to the machine tools needed would have been easy enough. Shoulda-woulda- coulda! I would have built a narrow Gauge K-27 Mikado of Rio Grande Southern linage. Probably #455 as it had an oversized cab making the reach in easier.
