Thanks for the ideas, I've already accounted for most of those, but I do like the idea of a small office or workshop tucked in there.
TruchkLover, in your thread where you decribe your dream steel mill layout, you mention having a power station that is coalfired. I was thinking something similar, but I was thinking of basicaly combining the sintering/coke ovens with a power plant. In my lttle fantasy world, the process of creating coke would produce alot of waste gas, I figure this gas could be captured and used in a natural gas poer station (Northern Light and Power). COmbinnig the two kits would make a pretty sweet structure/complex.
I've also started work on my high line to feed the BFs. The high line will be entirely scratch built as it need to be 3 times as high and around 10-12 times longer than the silly little things that are included in the BF kit. I've scrounged up most of the materials I will use for it already... I've never scractch built anything before and this is goining to be a very large structure ( longer than the ore dock), so this may get interesting!
