Hi Matt S nice machine I'm looking to sew heavy archery Quivers with pouches as an integral part of the Quiver hence the 3 layers I could redesign the Quiver to avoid 3 layers 

There are some singers on ebay similar design to your machine would one of those suit me better?

Yeah it's a good machine. Slow and heavy but powerful and reliable. I'd be happy to sew some pieces for you if you like though getting the very heavy thread is difficult. I mostly use TKT8 polyester at the moment and even that's pretty hard to find.

A Singer 45K or similar would do 3x layers of 3mm leather fine, though you'd be limited to TKT8 thread (0.65mm).

No, patchers like the 29k would be worse for this job than that Juki.

The first two are flat-beds. Will your project/product fit on a flat-bed? Also, the 58 subclass doesn't have a reverse.

That's a 133K, but yes similar to the cylinder-bed 45Ks.

I think I can get it done on a flat bed with a little bit of hand stitching.

what machine isn't a flat bed would an Adler be an alternative?

There's cylinder bed Singer 45Ks as well as flat-beds, and the Adler 5/105/205 series are cylinder beds of a similar capacity to the old Singer 45Ks. There's really just too many suitable machines to list.

Industrial sewing machines are something that needs a lot of homework to buy wisely.

What does your research show you about that machine model? And how far is Yorkshire from where you are?
