I have painted the signs and the "EVA" sign I am working on is for the Blast Furnace named after one of my Grand daughters who is quite volatile sometimes ! 

The large Republic Steel sign is for the roof of the Rolling Mill Roo.

Roo, if I missed the reason why sorry, but why did you choose Republic Steel?

Ron.

It's got nothing to do with the original Republic Steel or American politics! I just like the word "Republic" I think it sounds like a good American word. I've modelled American Railroads for almost 50 years and when I decided to build a Steel mill I thought Republic Steel sounded better than the other Steel mill names or a fictitious name that I could have thought up myself.

Being a Ford man all my life I should have gone for Ford or River Rouge Steel but no I liked Republic that's the reason I chose it. Roo.
