An engine and ten

Hello blog readers, model railroaders, friends and neighbors. The lead line on the week's blog is “an engine and ten”. What does this mean, you may wonder? Well, by the time this is posted I will have completed retrofitting of the newest coupler onto the shifter and ten boxcars. This will be the foundational rolling stock for The Omega Scale Railway. As mentioned before, other components are in the works. However, this part was critical for further progress. I have also mentioned that retrofitting is a time consuming effort. Fortunately, I was able to set things up to fabricate coupler hooks a little quicker. To explain in more detail, retrofitting involved removing the entire wheel trucks and old coupler if equipped and fitting new couplers and trucks. The shifter was even more difficult and some damage had to be dealt with. But, now all is well and moving forward. Elated, omscaler
