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.

A-FURNACE PART 5
Stove Burners - These heat the stoves and are fueled by clean blast furnace gas. There is one per stove. The drawings don't show much detail on these other than a basic shape. I was lucky to find a close up photo on the internet showing the burner. There is quite a bit of detail on these. I was thinking of carefully replicating one unit and then making a mold and casting additional pieces, however, the shape of them would be difficult to mold well. I have opted to make each one individually with some simplification, but still enough detail. They are built from styrene tubing - mostly 5/16 but with some of other sizes.
