Iron Ore Mine & Steel Mill in N Scale

[Bigsteel]

I think that combining the coke oven and power plant sounds like a cool idea. In fact, that is what they do, they take some of the bi-product gases that are produced in the various process of steel making and turn them into power to power the HUGE buildings that make up a steel mill, so your idea would be good

josh is right,they do use just about every weaste material that comes out of the mill for something,including power.and if your up for it you can run the "dirty" gas (which is gas straight from the oven or BF) and run it through a series of gas cleaners.which are essentially cylindrical tubes run in series to each other filtering the gas.they seem easy enough to build and add quite a bit of piping and railings for visual interest.--josh
