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.

BESSEMER PLANT - Part 1
Starting the month off at a run with two posts in one night. I'll speak more of the Bessemer Plant in future posts as I am still working on the layout . I would like to have three converters as that appears to have been the practice in the twilight of Bessemer steel(1940-50s), and while I was working on the gas producer parts I figured I'd give it a shot and turn the converter. I had thought about buying a few of the converter kits from Chuck Pravic ,which based on the rolling mill kits that I have bought from him, are probably excellent models, however, I like scratchbuilding so I'm going to make my own and cast duplicates as needed.
