I can only imagine how busy the millwrights who originally installed and maintained these monsters were! There were no lasers, diamond drills, concrete pumpers, epoxy, whatever..
Looking good. Have you considered making scale rail for the 7 1/4” gage crowd? It would be awful fun to watch a steam mill make rail for (little) steam engines.
It'll be really cool to see it up and running glad you saved it because most of the time all that stuff winds up going to scrap and all the really cool things that actually built this country most of them are scrapped and gone
A Herculean task. Best wishes and luck to you. Glad to see some of Youngstown's historical heavy industry being preserved.
Outstanding ! Thank you so much for showing how American might was once made.
Merry Christmas! 🎄
