{"product_id":"the-history-making-modeling-of-steel","title":"The History, Making \u0026 Modeling of Steel","description":"FROM THE BACK COVER: To the men and women who toil here its called \"The Works.\" Its a place where your senses are hammered by 3000-degree heat. By the ear-piercing shriek of oxygen blown into molten iron. By the constant thunder of towering machinery. Few outsiders dare enter this nightmare world. For this is where steel is born in the red-hot glow of a hundred suns. And since no other industry relies so heavily on railroads  its ideal as the theme of a new layout or as an add-on industry to your present operations. Youll go behind the scenes  for a firsthand look at the fascinating process of steel making. Your journey starts in the dust of the ore and coal mines  the limestone quarries and the scrap yards. Youll feel the intense heat of the coke ovens and the blast furnaces. Ride along with the switcher crews moving glowing hot metal cars. And to really give you a taste of life on the inside  we spend a day at the USS\/Kobe Steel Company works at Lorain  Ohio. Well also look at how the steel industry and America grew up together. Plus  a detailed glossary explains slang and technical terms youll hear inside \"The Works.\" Finally  well show you how you can recreate what youve seen for your model railroad. Practical ideas help you plan large or small operations  using easy-to-build structures  rolling stock  locomotives  vehicles and other kits. Remember  steel works are off-limits to visitors and photographers  so this is an essential reference for your model building!
