Oil Pump (N Scale) – Model Buildings – N Scale (Walthers) – Walthers from Walthers

Description

anywhere on your N Scale layout. Finding oil is hard work – and so is getting it out of the ground. If the oil is thin enough and there’s enough underground pressure, it may flow into the well on its own. This may continue for a few hours or a few years, but in time, the pressure drops. Today, nearly 95% of all US oil wells require pumps to stay in production and one of the most common is the walking beam or horse head.

The walking beam oil pump is typical of North American designs in use since the 1920s. It includes a detailed stationary diesel power plant, walking beam, rear crank and counterweight, along with the odd-shaped “horse head” front counterweight that gives the machines their nickname. Designed from the ground up to be a working model, the kit includes provisions for a hidden drive with the motor under your layout surface.

Models & Model Kits are supplied unpainted and unassembled unless otherwise noted.
