Figured I would start a new thread with the latest build ive just started working on. I sold my last Rolling Mill on ebay last week, and was pretty pleased with the selling price. It motivated me enough to build another, but this time make a few changes and additions to the overall structure of the Rolling Mill. Here was the link to the last Mill I built: http://www.modelrailroadforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19729
1) Make the mill shorter for those who cannot and do not have the room for the full length structure.
2) Changing the location of the Smoke Stacks on the rear of the Mill and move them to the side to allow for a flush fitting up against a wall if desired.
3) Super detail the inside of the mill with various details such as:

- Coil Cradles loaded with finished coils waiting to be transported placed along the back side and between the back 2 Coil Car tracks of the Mill
