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.

SOAKING PITS - Part 1
I'm tucking my soaking pits/blooming mill/ingot stripper,et al, into a small 10"x24" space. The ingot yard and soaking pits will be pretty much prototypically modeled, but the actually rolling mill will only be represented by a single roll stand. The photo shows the .125 styrene "foundation" of the soaking pit structure and the start of the steel framework. The columns are built according to info found in Dean Freytag's Cyclopedia of Industrial Modeling.
