Trucklover's Spring 07' Kitbuild Challenge

TruckLover · 04-17-2007, 07:17 PM

Hi guys, I am going to be building the Walthers N scale Coke Oven & Quencher to go with my Steel Mill Module.

Here is what it looks like:

Here is the trackplan to show were the Coke Oven will be going:

I just ordered the Coke Oven from Mike at Fifer Hobby but I have to wait for the 2 Rolling Mills I ordered from him to arrive from Walthers so he can ship them all at once. I should have the Coke oven by the end of April or early May.

Stay Tuned guys

HAH, that is a lil less then one month, plenty of time for me.

Should take me a few days at the most, im gonna take it slow like I did on the blast furnace build. Im also gonna weather it and make it look like my blast furnace after I build it
