Hello again blog readers. Last blog post was about the model train show in Gadsden, Alabama. I mentioned just a few of the highlights. One thing I did was have a lengthy discussion with a gentleman operating a very well done Z scale layout. Just for your information, he had a Japanese high speed train painted in the actual colors of the real train. And guess what? The train colors were in the format of...drum roll...”Hello Kitty”. That's right, both inside and out. It seems the Japanese people really like Hello Kitty. Also, this person showed me a laser cut building kit from Germany if I recall correctly. This got me thinking. What if I could do some things on The Omega Scale Railway with laser cut items? One on hand, our philosophy is everything is doable with simple tools and supplies. On the other hand, realism is an admirable goal. What a conflict! It looks like omscaler will be researching newer technology in the near future. Anyone have any input on laser cut paper? See you next time, omscaler
