Default My steel mill layout

Too many derailments, and I don't like the trackplan, so I might sell some of the structures soon. Take a peek.

That looks like a really nice layout, the structures look good, and scenery is really nice.

If you don't have perfect trackwork, you will always deal with derailments.

What are you planning if you take this one down?

Default never content

considering I always sell my stuff and start over, I am unsure what to build next time. Maybe a mill similar to eliza furnace, because I want it to really say "Pittsburgh" when you see it. We'll see. I am switching over to unitrack, and more running, less switching.

When I think of Pittsburgh, I think about steel mills next to rivers, between mountains. I also think about the area near downtown and the old PL&E station. Also the area east of downtown near the one mill(Thompson works) with the large arched concrete viaduct overhead. Train City...
