Carrick Furnace

There’s even working models of water pumps.

Youre welcome

I can see it now. Sean is slapping his forehead. . .

When you are done with all of those we can move onto this one.

Then lets not forget about the lime kilns that were all over the place.

Oh and since you know so much about water you might like this as well when you are finished with the furnaces and kilns.

This may be my fault which usually most is anyway however you cannot say that I didn’t help you with your questions>

So it has come to encroach on other pleasure’s … :unamused:
My favorite local brewer …

I’ve thought of doing a brewery or distillery in the location I am considering the furnace. Just something not to many people model.

Mums the word…it will be our secret. In colonial times, these iron furnaces were common. Even little Dillsburg, where I grew up, had iron mining and production.

Its an interesting topic especially for a guy who is no where near familiar with it. And one thing about having a “theoretical/what if” railroad is then who can tell you you can’t have one. So its been a learning experience and gives me something unique to model.

You should swing by the Mechanicsburg museum and check out my CVRR models on display there.

That would be fun and being a brewery pretty unique.

I thought about something like the Old Crow Distillery. Its cut stone.
