Comments:

This is not mine. It was spotted at a steam railway in Fielding, New Zealand.

I regret I did not have a ruler to confirm its wheel size.

It appears to be very similar to the other Oliver (UK) bandsaw already listed here on VM, except it has a fabricated frame as in the catalogue - not a cast frame.
It has a Brooks Motors (UK) 4hp; 3ph; 720rpm; 400/440volt; 50hz electric motor.
The isolating switch is PDL (NZ); the DOL starter is MEM (UK).
The blade guides are Chaco (Switzerland).
