I thought I would put these items up to keep the blog fresh as I am still working on building number two of the industrial vacuum company. It is taking me longer than expected, but then other things have gotten in the way of modeling - imagine that!

Steel mill items
I received a brass steel hot metal car from my Railroad Industry SIG members some years ago after running the SIG for about 13 years. I was working long hours at my job at the time and had mentioned to some Sig members that I might stop doing the SIG. As a result, at the next SIG meet they gave me a plaque and a vintage style steel mill hot metal car with a nice plaque on the bottom dedicated to me to keep me going. I eventually gave up the SIG after 20 years. The SIG was picked up by one of the members then died a few years later. This week I decided to paint and weather the hot metal car.
Above is a photo of the car. I will place it near the steel mill on my layout.
Above is a graphic of some steel mill cars from an ad in a very old book.
And above is a photo of an old steel mil from another old ad.
