The Pelton Water Wheel was widely used across the United States to power mines, mills and power plants. The Pelton wheel differed from other water wheels in that it only required a small amount of water to power and ran at a high speed. Water jets, fed by gravity, would blast onto the bottom of the wheel and the unique shape of the cups meant that little water was deflected back. This model represents the early wheels, built before 1900 at the Miner's Foundry in Nevada City and later at the Pelton Water Wheel Co, in San Francisco. This model prints in 5 separate pieces, meaning you can use them as car loads.

Made-to-Order Manufacturing

At 3DPT, every model is manufactured to order rather than pulled from warehouse inventory. This approach allows us to offer an extensive catalog while ensuring each piece is produced with the care and attention it deserves.

Most orders ship within 7-14 business days. However, larger models, complex projects, and high-volume orders may require 4-6 weeks or longer due to extended print times and production requirements.

While extended lead times are uncommon, they may occasionally occur during periods of high demand or due to circumstances outside our control. We appreciate your understanding as we continue our mission of preserving transportation history in miniature through high-quality, made-to-order models.
