I was wondering if you could tell me how high the highline on the BF is. I’ve got two BFs on order and I want to plan the track to connect with the highlines.

I’m hoping you’ll say 4” (as this would make my life easier) …but it looks less than 4” in the photos.

Thanks.

BEEN A LONG TIME since this thread had a post lol

Well ive decided to list the Blast Furnace, Rolling Mill and Coke Oven & Quencher on e-bay.

Reason being i want to start over and build them BIGGER using 3 Blast Furnace Kits, 4 or 5 Rolling Mill kits, and maybe 2 Coke Oven Kits. I know i know lots of time and money but i want HUGE MASSIVE buildings just like the prototypes lol.

Heres the link to the thread i ive posted the links to my auctions for them:
