Nice build. Just don't put anything too hot in it. Does heat Scale? Hmmm lets see 2000Deg/87 = 23 deg. Nah, I guess not

Steel Mill Ladle car
Posted by don_csx on Tuesday, April 12, 2011 9:51 AM

Been wanting to build a few specialized pieces of rolling stock for my steel mill and I started with this Ladle car. I build the car from looking a pictures on the net but later found detailed drawings of the cars. But for only a few hours of work I think it turned out pretty good.

Here is the model I built. Still need to add a few more details and paint.
