Can you stand one more coil post? <br /> <br />For a sea port one could model a "coil" dock. I witnessed a large ship of some 600 feet long being emptied of coils onto the dock. The resulting pile of steel coils on the peir had to be seen and believed I am told there were roughly enough steel on that dock to build 10 copies of the very vessal that brought it in. One could model this with about 3 ranks of model coils and 10 files long stacked about 3 high. This would offer a convincing model shipment of coils by ship on a model layout. One does not necessarily need 600 scale feet of dock. (7 Actual feet) <br /> <br />Lee
