We were back at the shop 

Yes, sometimes what the omscaler does has to be redone or more correctly repaired. Recently I experienced a couple of retainers coming off the railcar. Close examination revealed components that were somewhat over sized on the lower “shoe” or plate. It may have been that I thought I had modified this equipment but apparently I did not remove enough material or possibly skipped these cars in my mad rush to enjoy my model trains. Anyway, the suspects were apprehended and modified and returned to duty. It is incidents like these that sometimes delay current efforts. But this is all part of a smooth running model railroad. We are still moving forward. As a side note, I recently had the opportunity to attend a festival. The name of the festival was “Whistle Stop”. The location of the festival was located at a shopping area in west Leeds, Alabama. The Whistle Stop restaurant is located in Irondale, Alabama. It was prominent in a book and movie, “Fried Green Tomatoes”. When I first learned of this, I thought “What gives?”. I finally learned that some politics and finances had levered the festival away from its original location. Oh well, the only constant is change. See you next post, omscaler
