really couldn't find a specific place for this request. if this is annoying, please read no further.
i want to build a 1:24 scale air compressor & water pump, both powered x a model A four cylinder engine.
Q: how would the coupling be made from the banger transmission to the two devices?
Q: could there be, perhaps using the factory transmission, a transfer case that would allow power to be used driving one or both pump & compressor.
Q: would the engine be powerful (in the real world) enough to serve both?
the entire assembly will be installed on a reinforced '28 Ford A chassis.
i am only interested in creating a plausible model. if a 1:1 has never been made, there's probably good reason!
thanks

Re: scale model research & help requested
yes; bad memory - the chassis is from a Revell 1929 Ford pickup.
as noted in my original post, this is a scale model.
sorry if you thought it to be 1:1 scale.
this isn't me, but it is the truck! good catch.

A set up from the 1950s with the original Ford Thames fitted with a big diesel that drove either or. I doubt the Ford model A would have had sufficient poke for a full size road compressor and a pump.
Out of interest, I wonder when portable air was first used for breakers?

One of the more unusual uses of the Major engine, but a superb one, with plenty of variations around.
