The wheel shop at TVRM is equipped with a Niles AQJ90 Journal Turning Lathe (serial number 23536, built 1948) for turning driving wheel journals and hubs; a Niles QB90 Quartering and Crank Pin Turning Machine (serial number 23549, built 1948) for turning steam locomotive crank pins; and a Niles AW90 Heavy Driving Wheel Lathe (serial number 23520, built 1945) for profiling of tires and truing of driving wheel centers.  The wheel lathe was obtained from the B&O's Glenwood Shop in 1982.  The other two machines were obtained from Poland in 1995.  They had been part of an order of 30 machines (10 of each type) that were sold to Poland as part of the Polish Restoration and Recovery Program following WWII (and before Stalin dropped the Iron Curtain). All 3 machines were rebuilt with the wheel lathe being returned to service in January of this year.  Since then, TVRM has performed machining operations for the 2719, 1522, 6325, 1702, 203, and just recently, the CPR 2816.
