I think we all want to model everything we see that interests us. You can't do it. You won't have enough room, money or time. Maybe I should have used and instead of or. Basically what you won't have enough of is all of the above. I think your MET is probably designed on a bigger scale than you will be able to finish in a reasonable time period, but it is a reasonable goal, and if you get a big enough house some day to have a large train room, it is doable. Doing a steel mill will require a second train room. It won't fit on the MET since I think the only steel mill in California was the Kaiser Steel mill, now closed, that used to be in Fontana.
Russ although you are right, i still would like to at least get all the buildings and kits i mentioned above so at least i will have them in the future if i ever get a chance to set something up like i mentioned in my first post in the way of a layout that shows the process of coal and iron ore to steel....
Requiring 2 trains rooms for this would be a must, as the M&ET plans and all those modules might barely fit in one room, and i think i would want to avoid storing those in a garage or an outdoor storage shed. The Garage or a Large Storage building in a future backyard, granted i get a big enough house with a big enough backyard lol, might make a good home for a steel mill layout like this. Who parks there cars in a garage anyways now a days?
my family, including my grandparents, have not parked a car in our garages for ever, to much junk fills the garage at my house, and too many large woodworking and metal shop tools fill the garage at my grandparents house lolThe M&ET is definitely designed on a very large scale that will continue work for years and years to come. I dont expect to be done with that till way later in my life, this also means building good strong modules that will last 50+ years (only 19 years old lol)
