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 9
Stove stacks are finally complete. I started working on the tops for them - originally I was going to vac-form the tapered top piece and then use a turned wood section for the transition from the top to the stack. Thinking about it a bit more I've decided to make a one piece master for the tops and then cast duplicates. I've turned the core out of a block of cherry - you can see this in the picture with a piece of Plastruct TB-20 as the stack. I need to clean it up and add a ton of individual rivets, an access door ,...etc. and then make a RTV Silicone mold, and then four castings.
