Product Description
A set of buffers developed for my Stanton Slag Ladle Wagon kit.
History of the Entire wagon.
Iron and steel production creates large quantities of slag which was made up of the impurities in the ore which is removed in the blast furnace.
This slag was transported from the blast furnace while still molten in cast iron ladles mounted on rail wagons to a slag heap tip where it was tipped down a bank. After it had cooled down and solidified, it was processed into agregate for road building, construction blocks, railway ballast and even fertilizer depending on its composition.
These wagons usually ran in short rake's the length of which depended upon the power of the locomotive hauling them, the gradient n of the line, and the amount of slag carried. A typical train being made-up of three to five la ladles.
This kit is based on one of the types used at the Stanton Iron Works until iron smelting in the 1970.
