A waterfall of fire flashes orange against the night sky, silhouetting clouds of steam. Running nonstop to feed the blast furnaces, Coke Ovens are an essential part of most steel works. Here, unit trains of coal are baked into coke, a high carbon fuel used in steel making and many other industries. You'll also find coke ovens at mines, and as stand-alone industries. The model starts the Crusher, with its detailed metal siding, rugged I-beam supports, safety cage ladders and other details, including a simulated dump pit to receive loads of coal. The Storage Bunker also features steel construction and an enclosed conveyor. The heart of the operation is the battery of coke ovens, with detailed doors, walkways, large concrete smokestack, governor house and many other parts. For the final step, car loads of coke can be run through the Quench Tower with its many authentic details. Total area for all buildings measures 28 x 19 x 14" 70 x 47-1/2 x 35cm.
