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 30
I started construction on the skip hoist of this blast furnace. The hoist is build from a .040 styrene base - this is a little thicker than I would have liked but I felt it needed plenty of strength. I formed the structural framing by using .040x.156 and .030x.188 strip. Plus I added .060 styrene angles between frames. I used .100 angle, and .125 I-Beam for the cross pieces.
