I'm curious as to the size of those moulds. Ingot moulds were usually transported in gondolas - one or two, depending on the size and weight, at each end of the car.
At the steel plant where I worked, the largest ingots were roughly 25 tons, and the mould (and stool) for them would have been about the same weight. Not really too taxing for a 70 ton gondola.
Regardless of that, I'm enjoying watching this project as it develops.
