A Thanksgiving trip to Weirton yielded dozens of new photographs of the following areas / subjects of interest:
- Strip Steel - got a number of shots of the building's end walls. I am working on the design for the layout.
- Electrical towers - Weirton Steel used a variety of structural shapes and sizes of towers to suspend power lines.
- Blooming Mill - while most of the mill has been torn down, some small pieces (the one I want to model) remains and I got some good shots of them. Should help sort out the proportion issue I'm struggling with.
- Wall along Main Street - took some photos of the concrete wall for use in representing it.
- Mill Administration Building - was able to capture some of the detailed brickwork in this structure.
- General - got a number of photos showing the general deconstruction of the mill. Very sad, really.
Along with a great visit with family, this trip provided terrific resource material for new buildings and layout improvement.
