I did this and it brought up hundreds of sights and pics.
Try joining the yahoo steel group, I myself and along with a few other members of MR belong to yahoos group. Great group to join.
What type of mill equipment you looking for ? I’ve build an HO scale kress hot metal carrier along with other vehicles. Ken Larson…also a member of this group has built many peices of equipment , including a coke oven pusher.
Any help I can be , just let me know.

There are plenty of photographs of steel mills around. What I cannot find are photographs of the old Kaiser Steel mill (Fontana, CA) before they demolished quite a bit of it (the finishing mills are still around and being operated by California Steel Industries).
anyone no where to find good pics of mills served by steam?
I concur with Patrick and Ira about joining the Yahoo Steel newsgroup - that’s where I met most of the people who have guided my efforts in building my own steel mill layout.
I would also recommend a visit to Dave Ayer’s Steel Mill Modeling web site, at:
http://daveayers.com/Modeling/SteelModels.htm
It’s like an online compendium of anything related to steel mills; scroll to near the bottom of that page under the heading “Modelers”, and you will see numerous links to model photo websites.
