A self acting incline utilizes the weight of the car on one track going down to draw the car going up. If additional power was needed, a man could power the hand crank, and had brakes if one the windlass was moving too fast. This is based on a real prototype found in a Copper Mine in Michigan that dates to the 1860s. These windlasses would've been used both above and underground on inclined planes.
This kit prints in 4 separate pieces and does not include the frame mounting. This would pair well with our wooden skip car kit.

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.
