Building the Walthers N scale Blast Furnace

[TruckLover]

Step 25

Glued the other Furnace Room Roof sheet on.

The Furnace and Cast House part of the Blast Furnace Building are now complete (exept for attaching the pipe at the top of the furnace and the conveyor that goes to the top of the furnace. That is later.)

Here are some pics of the Furnace and Cast Room. Keep in mind that this whole building will get a coat of black wash and rust stains all over the roofs, tanks and pipes. This is WAY TO SHINNY for a blast furnace and is just the "undercoat"!! LOL

Thanks, I might consider putting them in later, it isn't to hard to get to the inside from the bottom of the building.

Step 26

Started building the next part of the Blast Furnace.

The Gas Main Supports were put in place, Elevator assembled and glued in place, the Stack Risers, Stack Breach, and the Lower Stack were assembled and glued in place. The Upper Stack was also assembled and glued in place. The foundation was also painted grey for concrete and the rest painted rust brown to match the furnace.

Step 28

Glued the 3 Stoves into place on the foundation and Lower and Upper Stove Valves were also glued to the Stoves along with the Burners and Burners Feed Pipes.

Next, the walkway will go ontop of the stoves and the Hot Blast Main will go on the top of the Supports and connected to the Stoves.

Step 32

I decided that I should do the first step in weathering the building while I could still reach it easyly. This is the black wash step, I will use chalks and create rust marks on the sheeting. The whole building will get a coat of the black wash.

Step 33

The pics show the overall view of the building. The Furnace Building and the Stove Area aree now glued together and the platfor for the second elevator opening is now connected to the Furnace.

Step 34

Glued the Pipe connecting from the top of the Furnace to the Gas Collector.

Step 35

Glued the yellow Railings in place on the upper Elevator Platform. I have to touch up the side of the Elavator. This part of the Blast Furnace is now complete. Next will be the conveyor to the top of the Furnace and the Bridge for the hopper cars to drive over.
