I have been agonizing for sometime now as to how, ...or if, I could fit a Walthers steel mill blast furnace into my layout plans. First off I have a real nice one that's all ready built, and secondly it would compliment my Balt city theme on the lower level (and most of us know Balt used to be a big steel town).
So now I think I have found a place for it to sit, but I need help in its orientation and location.
I'm seriously considering locating a fully built blast furnace in the lower right hand corner of this benchwork plan. It would have to sit out from the walls enough to allow a double track mainline to circle around it. I sketched in a 30" radius lines to illustrate. (it might be nice if I could hide those as they passed to the rear)??
Those are 1"= 1foot marks along the edge, and the temporary blast furnace foot print I place there is 27" by 10". Of course the back drop in that corner could be more painted steel making structures.
I also have a small selection of a variety of steel making cars I could have hanging out front of the blast furnace.
Suggestions??
