bazjones1711 Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Just a quick drawing of what I envisage the layout to look like 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne 37901 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Looking good so far Baz. I've been scribbling some plans down for an EM replacement for Dragon Steels now that stock is slowly being converted. I have a few ideas, plus a plan for a small blue era shunting layout which was going to be based in the Bristol area but has now moved.

br2975 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Some images showing the structural work for mill buildings Baz . The first two show the Celsa elactric arc melt shop under construction during 2005. . Note the common practice of having a large capacity travelling crane for the day to day work, and a smaller capacity crane running above it, to assist with the maintenance of the main crane i.e. lifting replacement parts through and onto the main crane. . The thirs picture is inside the billet bank and shows the lifting magnets used fror loading new, hot billets onto the wagons. . The last shot shows how the craneway is supported inside a building, in this case the old scrap bay at Tremorfa. . Hope these help .

Ruston Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Are the cranes actually going to work? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazjones1711 Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) Are the cranes actually going to work? hopefuuly so , wiill run a threaded bar between the girders for the longitudinal movement , something similar for the hoist cross movement and a geared motor for the winch and hook . Was thinking of making a slab tongs or using a electro magnet to pick up the slab , will see as i progress , May use 0.7mm lengths of nickel silver square rod for a buzz bar to pick up the contact for some of the motors as in real life , the nickel silver rod is actually cheaper than using plastic rod !
