The web page says no; they intend to use original engines and other

I had read that there are no machines left that are capable of machining new
crankshafts. True?

That seems pretty hard to believe. I wouldn't be surprised that the
machines used for this originally aren't available, but I can't believe
that there aren't lathes available today that could do this with proper
setup and programming. Lots of large cranks are still made for
locomotive and other engines much bigger than the Merlins and others of
that era.
