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.

ORE TRANSFER CAR - Part 5
Doors - The door assembly is comprised of a fixed panel on top and a moveable panel under - four assemblies total. The doors are activated by a motor or mechanism concealed in the space between the cab and the hopper end wall. The fixed and moveable doors were built from .020 sheet styrene and .030x.100 strips and a few .100 I-beams. I still need to add hinge pins and spacers and some sort of arm to trip the door, whether I actually build the activator or not.
