The subject matter of this blog is the Steel Industry and Railroading. Most of the posts deal with my attempt to model an integrated steel mill in HO scale, however, there will also be posts on real railroading and the real steel industry as well as other industries, and for that matter, general topics, that interest me.

B-FURNACE Part 4
Once again work is progressing faster on B-Furnace than A. I took a break from the pig casting machine problems and did just a little work on B-Furnace. Started to build the stairs in the top works. I've decided to build most of the railings throughout both structures from scratch after seeing Jeff Borne's DVD "Superdetailing a Walthers Blast Furnace Part 2" - I skipped part 1 and went straight to part 2 as it had more things that interested me. At first I thought this might be difficult, but a pair of tweezers and some glue and a steady hand make it relatively simple. It's actually fairly relaxing. I've also decided to use the mostly built A-Furnace stoves for B-Furnace instead. I'll talk more about the reasons for this in the following A-Furnace blog. The picture shows them in temporary place next to the furnace. I will need to fabricate a foundation for them.
