Walking-beam pumps are commonly used to bring oil to the surface after underground pressure is no longer sufficient for a well to flow on its own. These machines can be found individually or grouped into larger oil fields, allowing the model to represent anything from a single remote well to an extensive production district. Its long period of use makes it suitable for steam-, transition-, and diesel-era layouts.
