[modeleng] Re: Locomotive Crankpin Turning

Crankpin turning with the portable machine reminded me of the quartering 
machine at the Durango and Silverton shops in Colorado.  It was capable of 
reboring wheel crankpin holes, but also had a hollow cutter that allowed it 
to remachine the OD of crankpins while quartering them or just cleaning them 
up because of heat checks or scoring.
