Scale cars such as this were used to weigh materials - such as coke - which were then deposited into the furnace. The two buckets (known as hoppers) on the front of the car would be weighed by the car's operator in the cab. The cab would then travel to the number 5 Bessemer furnace at Cleveland ironworks and unload it's content to continue the metallurgic process. This scale car was used extensively throughout the latter half of the 20th century until the closure of the Teesside plant in the 1980's
A G scale layout -- probably 1:20.3, since it looks like narrow-gauge stock -- at the Kemptville Toy and Train Show.
This railtrack scale is located at Kepa Zawadowska in Warsaw enroute to the EC Siekierki heat- and powerplant. It is built into the track and measures the weight of 4-axle cars, which bring coal to EC Siekierki. The speed at the scale must be reduced to 3 to 5 km/h max. to allow proper operation. The length of the measuring track is exactly to match the Eaos/Eas railcars' length.

Visita all' Ex-Manicomio di Volterra.
Una esperienza unica, in un luogo ormai dimenticato da tutti.
Mura ignorate e tenute nascoste, dove la pazzia avanzava e la solitudine uccideva le anime.
Farmaci ed Elettroshock rendevano gli internati ancor più invisibili che mai.

Did scales cost a fortune at some point in the past?
I've never understood the business model for giant civic bathroom scales and impulse-purchase weight measurement.
Le scale di casa mia. Ho la fortuna di abitare in una vecchia casa della fine dell'Ottocento in stile Liberty.
This is a 1:100 scale model of a Commercial Space Station, which we were commissioned to build in 2019. The model features a variety of customized modules, stowage facilities, an airlock, an observatory, a robotic arm and a main solar array. The model is accompanied with replicas of the SpaceX Dragon and Boeing CST-100 supply ships. Later we are going to add to this set a replica of the SpaceX Dragon 2 as well. The model also includes several posed astronaut figurines, designed and customized for us by Mr. Max Grueter.
The model was designed in 3D software, produced by rapid prototyping and manually assembled, painted and decorated.
In this model we implemented the features and technics developed for our models of ISS, which we were building and perfecting since 2008. The model has reliable internal reinforcement system, holding the modules together. Most vulnerable elements are produced from durable materials – metal and nylon. Selected components and supply ships’ replicas have embedded magnets, allowing to reconfigure the station and exercise various docking schemes. The model is mounted with support poles on a black painted base.
The model is designed to be partially disassembled during transport. It is packed in a Pelican heavy duty transit case and can be fast and easily assembled for presentation.

Yay! It's finally done!
Designed and folded by me, Chad Killeen. Folded from one uncut square of paper.
This one took quite some time to make, not the whole folding process, but MC takes a while to dry :)
This one has a few modifacations from my previous one, nothing serious, just a few modifacations in a few places.
Description(Physical Details): Stainless steel pocket prescription scale in a steel case. "DR. C. H. FITCH'S PRESCRIPTION SCALE" stamped on the outside of the case, along with patent date of Sept 29 1885 and manufacturer's mark. Inside of the case is a small pan, which is attached to a pin. A steel tab with a scale on it slides into the pan to adjust the desired amount, measured in grains with capacity from 1/2 grain to 20 grains. Also included in this set is a spatula with a folding handle, which fits inside of the box. Fits inside of a cardboard box.
