First up on the build series is the Walthers Ashland Iron & Steel Rolling Mill
![[Image: 09330000002971.gif]](http://www.walthers.com/prodimage/0933/09330000002971.gif)
Finished Mill measures: 32 x 11-1/8 x 10" (81.3 x 28.26 x 25.4cm)
This rolling mill will be built with a slight kitbash. Instead of arranging the base plates as the instruction suggests, I have arranged them so that the Rolling Mill Stand and Machinery is on the right side of the structure, and the tracks are all on the left side. Walthers has the kit arranged for tracks on either side of the structure, but most people do not have the room to get tracks in on both sides of this massive structure, so this will make it a little easier and take up less real-estate in the end for someone looking to build a steel mill.
Next post will cover Step #1, which is the assembly of the 4 base components.Step-By-Step Build Series - Walthers Ashland Iron & Steel Rolling Mill
