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 24
The steam piping was added to the thermal expansion goggle valve - just some brass rod - .032, strip styrene, and styrene tubing. I need to file the cut ends of the piping flat. The second picture shows one of the valves in place on the output side of the gas washer. For those new to the blog, the gas washer is housed in a large structural framework on the slag runner side of the A-Furnace casthouse.(part of the structure is a protective wall for the slag track. This was the second structure that I started working on - at least a year ago. There are a lot of structural steel elements and walkways to add to it, however, I was waiting to finish the piping. The hang up with the piping were the two valves that I kept putting off building. The remaining piping are a series of segmented bends and connecting pipes - on one side the dust catcher, on the other, the precipitator complex (this is a separate blog topic)
