I worked at bsc when the torpedo ladles first arrived about 1970 i thonk they were 200t. These look a bit like the originals does anyone know if they are?

@doodlecoma Yes these are the originals.

for those in the know and they know who they are not a nice place to be when one of these beauties blow out especially when it takes out another torp and a Loco to boot safety out of the window

nope, we had one split its guts while on the pouring station a few months back.. wasnt very nice running as fast as you can with molten metal pouring around you from the gantry.. plant was shutdown for 6 days due to that.
