Dave,

I think you are seeing the chucks on the wheel lathe instead of the actual wheelset being turned. The chucks on a wheel lathe had to be as large as the largest wheels to be turned. I'm guessing the wheels on the WM coach were 36" or a bit bigger. I don't know the capacity of the lathe at Cass, but it looks much larger than 36" or so.
