Steel is a hard one in HO. Mainly because buildings are very complex and detailed but most of all because of the space it needs to get close to scale. I respect ALL the work that has been done here. Some structures look fantastic and nicely weathered. Especially electric furnace, rolling mill AND bridge crane. Not a fan of thin background building but yours are come up very nicely. Thanks for sharing. Must be very busy OPS on your layout. Keep on your good work.

Excellent video. Reminds me of my home town of Detroit! McClouth Steel was a large steel mill on Zug Island in the Detroit River. Delray Connecting Railroad was an account of mine. It serviced the mill Nd Allied Chemical. Spent sometime at that location. Dirty filthy conditions!! What else would you expect !! Great layout guys !!

Many interesting features here. But the main thing is that I highly respect modelers who are doing steel industry. Takes a lot of "juice" to model those big structures and make them look as real, rusty and dirty as they're suppose too. I think you succeed in doing it. I also like the fact that you modeled it on a long part of your layout. And I'm pretty sure that there was no other way to do it for you. Congrats ! Probably very interesting to do ops on it. Thumb's up !

When doing operation sessions. Someone is station here full time. Their 3 jobs that person usually do. Their is an interchange siding sitting down the hill near the mains. Their a secondary yard up in the middle. Then their the job of switching all the cars from the upper yard to the different locations in the steel mill. Full time job, literally

@@caprailroad Hi. Thanks for answering. When I start an OP session of 15 cars on my paper mill complex, it take like 3 hours to put together from a carfloat, then delivering and coming back with empties and full to l9ad the carfloat. I can imagine how long it can be on your layout. The wonderful world of railroad modeling !

Are all or most of the industries are on one side of the layout? I'd like to see the other side and any piers that the layout might have. Thanks for sharing this video!
