Just a little update on The Omega Scale efforts. The current project is to produce something called a wood sheathed boxcar. I know what you are probably thinking. “Why don't you produce some kind of locomotive”? Good question! What this particular project is about is to produce a boxcar at a higher level of quality. The boxcar in the photo is in fact a sheet steel sided later era boxcar replica. It is a “prototype”. It was built a little bit “quick and dirty”. I wanted to get something graphic for our readers for as they say a picture is worth a thousand words. The project in the works now has several goals. A standard of production, finer details, and a more realistic appearance. However, we definitely need a locomotive. What is on the drawing board is a small switching locomotive. More updates to come.
