Say the word steel to even the most casual observer and they picture these
towering giants. Looming hundreds of feet into the skyline, their maze of
pipes and equipment stands in stark contrast to the lines of newer
buildings. Running nonstop, no other part of a steel works generates as
much rail traffic. Hoppers bring up load after load of iron ore or
taconite, coke and limestone. Hot metal cars carry the molten steel to the
converters, while slag cars take their loads to the dump.
At last, here's a model that captures the power of the prototype and still
fits the average layout. This complete kit includes the furnace, stoves,
dust collectors and cleaning system, piping, cast house, hearth, skip
hoist, high line supports - over 300 parts in all. Yet, it's designed for
easy construction and includes complete instructions. Your finished model
can be used as the centerpiece of a layout serving the steel industry, or a
super addition to any industrial area.
