The Monroe Swap Meet this weekend provided an unexpected boon to the Steel industry on the Burrlington Northern - someone was "downsizing his layout" and sold me a built-up transfer crane that's just the right size to sit on top of the two tracks currently serving a location that I call Bethlehem Steel, even though all it had been was a single brick building. Now the scene looks much more convincing as a steel-handling industry:
This is still a temporary location for Bethlehem Steel - the new expansion in West Seattle will eventually create a larger space for a better model of the plant, but for now it will do as a place to receive scrap and ship steel products. Here is one photo of the prototype plant, shot in 1972 and published by MOHAI:
Looking forward to modeling this one day! :)
