Here's a few 1:87 guys directing a charge of hot iron into a Basic Oxygen furnace for refinement into steel.

Let's see a loco servicing facility, small or large.

Hi

I can do a bridge and train. Here's some of the first scratch built items that I did.A bridge (cross timbers and beams) propane fertilizer tanks (PVC) and coal shed.
Can someone else show me a compressed gas storage? I would like to see how they handled it.

Cheers   Smile, Wink & Grin
