The red lines are tracks in the mill, the blue lines represent the mainline, which just briefly pass through the mill. As I have said before I have a small basement so this should serve to show what can be done in a small space - Most of the track shown, other than the high-line is installed. Most of the buildings are either under construction or in the planning phase. This is just a portion of the layout - in addition to the main snaking around the main room in the basement, I also have a small port section, a long narrow section with the coke works and later, some non-steel industry. A third addition, 3'x14' has yet to be started. Originally this was supposed to be a large yard with a passenger terminal and city. I am going back and forth on this right now as to whether to just add some steel mill structures -either partially or entirely. At the minimum, an EAF (electric arc furnace) will be located there.
Back to the Lower Works - As of now the following structures are under construction or planned -
- Blast Furnace A - Replica of Bethlehem Steel A-Furnace - Scratchbuilt - under construction
- Blast Furnace B - Semi-replica of USS Duquesne #3 Furnace (also will produce ferro-manganese - Scratchbuilt - under construction
- Pig Casting Machine - Single Strand - Scratchbuilt - under construction
- Ore Yard - Modified Walther bridge crane - under construction
- Rolling Mill - Walthers Kit with Pravik Resin castings and scratchbuilt rolling mill interior details
- Heat Treatment #3 - Replica of Beth Steel Heat Treatment #3 (the High House or Gun Shop) - Scratchbuilt - planning phase
- Blowing Engine House - waiting for new walther's kit to evaluate - maybe scratchbuild
- Boiler House - either kitbash or using modular sections
- Other structures - the will be numerous other small structures.
