Besides our Free-mo activities at the Timonium train show, I also had some serious time to look around. In the past I've usually not had nearly as much time to look at what everyone was selling. I usually try to focus on finding things that I won't be able to get elsewhere. A couple things worth mentioning for the steel mill modeler -
1. Fermentation Tank Detail Kit - Not the tanks themselves but the detail kit that is sold separately for $15 or so has a great industrial stair tower, actually two in the bag, along with some walkways, piping, ...etc. If you've ever tried to build a stair tower from scratch, it isn't easy - and you spend some money on plastruct stair parts. I already put an order in at the local hobby shop for a half dozen of these. In the immediate future I will be using these stair towers on my precipitators, probably my gas washer complex, and if I can fit one, B-Furnace.
2. Steel Giants - awesome book, a must for every steel mill modeler. This large hardcover book is full of photos of USS Gary during the 1900s, including construction photos. Great photos.
