Thanks for the information Mat. The scale I am modeling was built around 1960 but it was a beam scale where yours appears to be electronic. The old beam scale had two sets of rails, one live and one dead to run over when the scale is not in use. With electronic sensors I guess they would not need that. The one I am modeling may have been built long before and just moved when the new yard was built. I'll try to post some pictures of what I am doing under a new post.

Robert, my prototype was indeed built in 1954, but the only pictures where I can see the scale in detail are all from the 1990s and 2000s. The plant could have upgraded the scale over its life time. But that said, I would be surprised is was a gauntlet type like the one you are describing. Looking forward to see your model and prototype!
