I have a large factory structure which I named Connecticut Hard Rubber Corp. It was in New Haven Connecticut and my father-in -law was the head of Quality Control. The building will have a separate boiler plant in a small separate building and will  have two boilers and a feedwater tank, This is very fitting for a fellow with 40 plus years in the industrial boiler business. I have finished one of the boilers with the other in progress. Since we are about 1950, the boilers will be coal fired and like many larger factories/boiler plants, they had a siding with a coal dump/bin for coal storage. Here is one of the boilers fully assembled with some decent detail. These units are Crow River Products and come in a kit form. The instructions were quite well done and give step by step assembly illustrations. The pieces needed the usual painting and for mortor between the bricks I used called Roberts brick and mortar formula.  This will make and interesting add to the factory building.  Bill

Very nice work Bill. Did you say industrial boilers? I had two 600 HP Compak's and one 400 HP CB in our power plant. All three are gone now and have been replaced by a 2.0 MW co-gen and 4- 200 HP semi-condensing boilers.
