Steel mill building needed
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, November 24, 2004 2:03 PM
My son and I are building a steel mill on our HO layout. We are looking for the Walthers Electric Furnace building #933-3056 that was discountinued several years ago. Does anyone have one that they would like to sell or know of a hobby shop that has one? We are trying to build a BOF (Basic Oxygen Furnace). Any other suggestions if we can't find the 3056??

Peter,
Plastruct:
http://www.plastruct.com
has a Steel Mill Fakefront, their kit 30 for $ 44.95, and they also have kit 40 for steel mill bottle cars for $ 20.95. And you might check Jay Cohen Model Trains:
http://www.jaystrains.com
to see if they have it in their inventory of "fallen flag" kits.

P.S. Just now saw your double post on the Layout forum, which I had not read when I posted this.

Or buy Evergreen metal siding material and make one yourself. Its basically a big corrugated metal box.
