I'm doing some planning here for the large layout I eventually plan on doing. Would like the layout to have this great looking structure as the center piece to it. I've been looking for the size of this monster. None of the sites I find it on list the dimensions of it. Does anyone out there know what they are. Thanks, Israel
I am pretty sure the dimensions would be listed in its N-Z catalogue. I suggest you e-mail one of our on line advertisers, ask for the dimensions, and then order from that supplier. I am sure Wig-Wag will do you right.
Don't know the dimensions but there is a thread on another board with some photos of the blast furnace in place on a layout. Perhaps that may help. http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?t=12555&page=1&pp=15
Weren't there to more structures to be produced with these kits. They've made thus far the Blast Furnace, the Rolling Mill, and I thought the Coke Ovens were to be next. Or have small sales now doomed the Coke Ovens??
From diagram on box: The main building is 19.625" x 7.25" and 15.25" tall, a separate building whose location relative to the main buildig is optional is 8.375' x 3.875" Don't have rolling mill yet so can't tell you what it is.
Even the N scale version is scaled down. The Midwest N Pioneer club, and some others, use the HO scale kit for their N scale layout. It is tedious because you have to change all the doors and railings to N scale. Midwest N Pioneer (great club!) http://www.midwestnpioneer.org/ HO scale steel mill:
