ON THE BACK COVER
A highly detailed and complex industry that features operations with specialized railcars is hard to beat on a model railroad. There is enough rail activity in a steel mill to build a layout that focuses just on the mill. Or you can include a steel mill as a peripheral industry and model some of the traffic that brings
in raw materials, hauls out finished product, and provides intra-plant movement.
The Model Railroader's Guide to Steel Mills is a concise guide to the steel industry, past and present. It presents a clear picture of those mysterious complexes laced with a bewildering array of pipes, wires, and rail lines radiating in every direction. The book focuses on the ironmaking and steelmaking processes, mill structures, and supporting railroads. It also offers track-planning ideas, modeling tips, and building techniques.
This book includes information on
Compressing a steel mill scene
Modeling steel mill operations
Planning layouts in HO and N scales
Detailing a blast furnace kit
Weathering slag cars and hot metal cars
