My son and I are building a steel mill on our HO layout. We are looking for the Walthers Electric Furnace building #933-3056 that was discountinued several years ago. Does anyone have one that they would like to sell or know of a hobby shop that has one? We are trying to build a BOF (Basic Oxygen Furnace). Any other suggestions if we can’t find the 3056??

Peter,
Plastruct:

has a Steel Mill Fakefront, their kit 30 for $ 44.95, and they also have kit 40 for steel mill bottle cars for $ 20.95. And you might check Jay Cohen Model Trains:

to see if they have it in their inventory of “fallen flag” kits.

P.S. Just now saw your double post on the Layout forum, which I had not read when I posted this.
Try the Hobby Depot in Monrroe, WI. They have most of the steel mill kits that I’ve threatened to buy. 608-325-5107 his hours are 10-5 tues thru Sat. or e-mail to hobbydpo@tds.net.
Good luck, Rich
Or buy Evergreen metal siding material and make one yourself. Its basically a big corrugated metal box.
