Hello all,
Modeling steel mills has its fair share of perks and its own problems.Which leads me to this, slag dumps. I've done a breif search of the internet, looking for an HO scale mobile crusher unit,preferable mounted on tracks.Having said this.....I didn't find a darn thing.
I did however sit down at the ole work bench and start another HO scale custom model.Yep....you quessed it,a mobile tracked crusher.
Geeez I should have picked something else to model ,other than a steel mill complex. But that wouldn't be as much fun as building all these weird pieces of equipment.Anyhow I have walthers glacier gravel company and may pieces of equipment ,one would find working in such a place. I also need to get a hold of a kibri track crane for the skull crushing,using a HO scale wrecking ball { AKA small fishing weight}.
I should have something for photos ,some time this week. I can't decide on what color to paint it. Caterpillar yellow,ruby red,apple green or???????
What custom vehicles are you working on ,for your layout ?
Take care.....
