That's a neat tip Gary! The many uses of hairspray, hehe.
I've had the same thoughts looking at prototype photos of steel mills. There is an insane level of detail!!! The maze of pipes, valves, conveyors is somewhat daunting. I've already resigned myself to the fact that the best I can achieve given the space and budget limitations will be a representation of a tiny part of a very small steel mill, which is fine by me. As long as the placement of track, structures and pipes makes sense, I'll be happy.
I recently found a thread on another forum about scratchbuilding the blast furnace precipitator. It's quite a read, and is here if you're interested.
