I love to see old machinery being brought back to life. It is especially meaningful if it operates to its original capacity. (This includes railroad rolling stock) If they could run some iron through the rolls and post that on YouTube it would be great.

To that end I have to wonder if that rolls are in their original location. For instance if a sheet were run through at a large radius wouldn’t it hit the wall? Also how do the handle a large sheet? Is there a crane? Same questions for the brake.

Great service to preservation and the best of luck with the project.
