Steel Mill Module 3 Redesign - Part 1

My Keystone Specialty Metals (KSM) steel mill modules have been broken up. The over-all scene consisted of 5, 8 foot modules in which I am cutting 2 modules out. Modules 1 and 2 had the coal pulverizer and blast furnaces on them, they are being retired. The blaster furnaces I will be reusing at a later date to create a new mill scene. Both of the frames are going to be scrapped clean to be used for future projects, at this point I'm not sure what they'll be. Models 3, 4 and 5 will be used as a mini mill for now. I will have to re-configure the mainlines back to 8" and 10" on module #3 in order for it to be used as mainline modules for our group. The 21" run through will also have to be aligned at the frontier as well. The photo's reference of the area to be reconfigured, as you can see I have already cleared the previous building off, and have removed some of the track to prepare for the transition back to the 8 and 10's for the mainlines. The next posts will show how I re-configured the track work.
