Fire Brick kiln for O gauge layout

[rtraincollector]

Also Welcome   

You might want to talk to kevin ( KRM ) for some details as I remember he made a guy welding for his layout, so maybe he could help you figure out a Brick oven or something for your building.

First off ---> .

If you are looking for a quick solution, you might want to start with a Dept 56 T.L.Pigs Brich Factory.

There are over 1100 items on ebay (toys column).  Also use ebay for finding old photos and postcards of brick works.

After my retirement in 2014 I began planning for my permanent model train layout.  Thanks to my father my selected scale size is O gauge.  In his honor I wish to include to a portion of my layout a model of Harbison Walker Refractories.  Father worked there from after WWII until the plant closed in 1963.  This is my initial discussion for the forum and it appears to be a difficult one.  For several weeks I have contacted all the advertisers in the CTT as well as many that are not for information on fire brick kilns for O gauge layout.  From a contact in MA I know that Walthers once produced brick kilns in HO scale. They have since sold their molds for the kilns.  I hope that someone in this community forum may know sources of kilns and smoke stacks that may be available for use in my O gauge model refractory.
