Marty, are you using 1:20 scale machinery, possibly modified, or was something available in 1:16? -- Russ

Russ,
 Nothing is available in 1/16. Nothing.
All the machines are 1/16 that I have built to scale.
I did use O scale models/kits for dimensions as well as lots of reference pictures.
I am using some G scale hangers but made a few of my own.

You should have mentioned that in your post because scratchbuilding all that machinery is quite impressive. -- Russ

Have a good look at the military stuff its becoming popular Quickly lots of vehicles and one hell of a load of half tracks and tanks all containing superb engines with lovely detail and useful bits - The TAKOM range are just the business The Jeep is full of goodies wheels /tyres / petrol cans and tool sets the chassis is great for the scrap heap The small French tank has many Fordson bits would make a lovely Tracked Fordson
and loads of specialist dealers are springing up suppling all sort of goodies all at reasonable prices
I have often dabbled in this scale and no doubt will return to it one day and of course a massive range of
dicast  tractors and equipment quite a few companies now doing spares PE stuff included

I finished the last machine for the 1/16 machine shop.
I looked at several vintage pieces and decided on this.
All scratch built except the pulley, the "stones" those are Drexel polishing wheels the curved I beam is a leftover from my Oldsmobile build. Chuck Doan rendered it and I had it printed in brass.
Brass tube for the top part and aluminum for the column and base.
