Rolling Mill teardown

My late friend Tom Patterson built this steel mill at our club in Dallas, the Southside Railroad Modelers. The mill was so large that it was difficult to operate with. Cars would get stuck inside and there wasn't a good way to get them out. Eventually, another club member built a replacement and this one was stored downstairs.


The club tried selling it at the Fall Plano train show, but no takers, so I gave them some cash and took it home. My hope is to use the Plastruct to make grain elevators and buildings for the sugar factory. The building is so large, that it took up an unreasonable amount of shelf space. I decided to disassemble it to conserve space.
