This is a great post, especially for the people building steel mills. Thank you Ken! As I have posted before, my Father was an open hearth charging foreman at US Steel's ET Works. When USS went from steam to diesel (early 50's), he procured the whistle off a steam dinky for me. My question, for the RR history people is, what steam power did the diesel dinky replace. Could it be a 0-4-0 engine that is already available in O gauge or could it be, like this build, a relic of the past that may know longer exist? or has never been offered in O.
