          surface and a second plenum surface;                                        
               (c)  a second fixed wall affixed to the trailer parallel               
          to the first fixed wall and spaced apart from the first fixed               
          wall by a given distance, the second fixed wall including an                
          outer substantially planar mold surface and a second plenum                 
          surface,                                                                    
          wherein the plenum surface of the second fixed wall opposes                 
          the plenum surface of the first fixed wall;                                 
               (d) a housing extending between the first fixed wall and               
          the second fixed wall to form a furnace plenum therebetween,                
          the furnace plenum including a return duct the furnace plenum               
          having an inlet exposed to the first plenum surface and the                 
          second plenum surface, and an outlet exposed to the return                  
          duct;                                                                       
               (e)  a heater having an inlet and an outlet, wherein the               
          heater outlet is fluidly connected to the furnace plenum inlet              
          and the heater inlet is fluidly connected to the furnace                    
          plenum outlet to form a substantially closed fluid circuit                  
          between the heater and the furnace plenum;                                  
               (f)  a plurality of transverse channels connected to the               
          trailer transverse to the longitudinal axis;                                
               (g)  a first set of transverse beams slideably disposed                
          within the transverse channels;                                             
               (h)  a second set of transverse beams slideably disposed               
          within the transverse channels;                                             
               (i)  a first movable wall connected to the first set of                
          transverse beams for movement relative to the first fixed wall              
          between a casting position adjacent the mold surface of the                 
          first fixed wall for forming a first mold therebetween and a                
          discharging position remote from the first fixed wall, the                  
          first mold including a first concrete inlet for introducing                 
          concrete into the first mold; and                                           

                                          3
