Dave Alley and his wife lived in the Chicago area for a few years
before moving back east. He was an active member of the Des Plaines
Valley group. The hot bottle cars are indeed HO models with S scale
trucks and a few other modifications. Sam McCoy made a few and as I
recall weighted them with epoxy and BB's! Dave's steel mill was at
the 2004 NASG convention in Arlington Park (IL), but I'm sure work
and detail on it has progressed a great deal since then.
Another S scale layout devoted to steel was Jerry Schnur's in the
Indianapolis area. Not sure of it's current status, but I do recall
his "I. M. Bezzle" steel plant.
