It did, and it didn’t

The planned car repairs worked somewhat well but not quite. Fortunately, our work aids speeded up everything. All but one boxcar are out of the shop. This is due to the next phase innovation in draft gear. This next design will hopefully strengthen “pulling” power. It may ease construction as well. A win-win for the OSR car shop. The shifter is still under rebuild and has a new “cosmetic” set of drive wheels. It is also getting a stronger frame design as well. And one more thing, the first turnout with the new design was followed by six with a better slide plate component and will now be getting one too. We have been very busy on “The Very Small Railroad”. Getting more done, omscaler
