Oil pump kit
« on: August 01, 2025, 07:39:54 am »
Not sure if I ever posted about this one, but I got one of the oil pump model kits off AliExpress a while back, and it is really awesome as a desk ornament. I bought it with plans to integrate into a layout, but the overall assembly is pretty nice, and I haven't had the heart yet. Probably when the motor goes out! Interestingly it uses the same general gear reduction set as Jin's higher detail version. I wonder if at some point Jin had intended to make a detailed brass version, or supplied this company with parts? Not sure, but a cool feature!

That is VERY COOL!

Gives me ideas as to what can be done with one of Jin's units ... if I could only find the time?!?!

That looks very nice I've been thinking about ordering 1 myself I'm into O. scale trains and I think it would be a nice addition on my train layout so far I've been shopping for the lowest price on them but the detail on that is very nice!!!

I have one of these too.

A really well made kit and fun to assemble.

It's in the backdrop on my display/video table.
