Power back to work 
As of this post, the rebuilt shifter should be back on duty. I say should be because this particular piece of effort has indeed been an effort. What omscaler found out was the conflation of two different equipment diagrams. This problem was seen in the last shifter having an “air borne” boiler appearance. It was not too bad but it was noticeable. The hashing out of the discrepancy added more time to the project. The good news is that the problem was discovered and remedied. What is next? Omscaler wants to do an outside braced wood boxcar for a new project. What is needed is a dual purpose road engine and one or more cabooses. More than half a dozen boxcars are in the shop for upgraded running gear. You pick your mark and you start. I hope next post shows much progress on all counts. Omscaler
