This is my BOTW:
It is some random all wood building I have in storage. Don't remember anything about it or even when or where I got it:

Life-Like Drive-Thru Bank
Note how the pic was set up
Would it make more sense to put the teller windo on THIS side? 
What I want to do is get this detailed & go as so far as to make the signals really work!

John,
The machines in the Tyco factory are injection molding machines, not exactly what you're looking for, but might pass for lathes with some modification.

Glenn,
Thanks! I wander....I'm always up for looking to see what the interior details look like! Always good for other projects as well!
Hmmm....Anyone know of a place that has decent details for a machine shop that can bought in a set?

John,
I forget who makes them but occasionally nicely molded metal pieces pop up on ebay. They can be found but if listed correctly fetch a few $. I have many of my own. Individually they are pretty cheap. Get a group of them together and the prices seem to quadruple. At this point, I really do not know how many I have, but it is a lot.

Sean,
What would you charge for one of each? I want to get them, so I can use them in my machine shop for the steam era maintenance shop thats will be off the side of my engine house and roundhouse.....
I would also like to see if its possible to mold them to be made from resin plastic as well!

Glenn, and Royal Blue, I thank you both for wanting to help! IF you can get pictures of the interior machines, without destroying anything, I'd be greatfull, but don't ruin your model otherwise, its not that important!
