In a few weeks I'm going to start St. Lawrence Cement. The prototype is a few miles from my home. I had a tour a few weeks ago. It is a Portland Cement Factory. I'm likely going to buy another Superior Paper, and use the kraft mill, which looks like the "mill" building, where stones are crushed and fed into the kiln. Then I'll take the smokestacks off. I'll likely use the main building of that kit to expand my other Supierior paper. I'll take the tanks off the roof, because they can be the 150 ft. long, rotating kiln, which I'll put a motor in. I'll also put red-orange see-though paper, and I'll put a smoke unit in the mill building, and smoke will travel through the kiln (coming out cracks, and into a model power smokestack, with the old brick stack replaced by one of the kraft mill's modern stacks. I'll likely use the remaining stacks on other buildings I have. I'll then buy a Glacier Gravel kit that will be modified next to the mill builing to get rocks from the quarry. The hard part is making the modern dome to store the gravel. The next thing, is scratch building the 150 foot round silo, where stones (now black) are crushed. I'll get Medusa cement's walkway, for that silo. Then I'll use the pipes that go over the tracks in Supierior paper, to cross the tracks (which actually is there) to a modified Medusa Cement kit. The I'll use some pipes, and cut two holes for covered hoppers in an ADM grain elevator kit, and use the main building for my next project... A modern Purina elevator that also is near my house.
The final parts of this project are easy; making the two small office buildings, the sheds for trucks, and coal, the company sign, gate, and steps to former immigrant houses (Where the first workers lived many years ago. The houses were burned down on purpose about 30 yrs. ago, but you can still see the steps) I'm also going to save space, where the old plant used to be, next to the Antietam Creek. The plant actiually diverted the creek, to form the quarry. The cool thing about this plant is some parts are brand new, most from the late 70's, early 80's and just a little bit from as early as 1915.
