Custom Reproduction Parts of a Steam Locomotive

Modern Manufacturing Solutions for Classic Train Components

When operating historic railroading equipment, you’ll likely find that the antique parts eventually need to be repaired or replaced. This presents a unique challenge. Where do you find parts of a steam locomotive that are over 100 years old?

Well, you either find a needle-in-a-haystack replacement, or you hire someone who can fix broken locomotive parts and build custom ones. That’s where we can help.

Strasburg Rail Road Mechanical Services has the expertise to manufacture custom-made locomotive components and repair almost any type of heritage equipment. We apply both modern technology and period-based practices to deliver tailored solutions for your equipment, never compromising on quality or safety.

Whatever the size of your project or associated challenges, our highly-skilled railroad craftsmen are eager to assist.
