As omscaler types this, glue is drying on the 0-6-0 shifter frame upgrade. Another part, the running boards component has dried and is awaiting assembly. What was done was an internal frame brace. This first attempt was problematic and omscaler discarded it in favor of a laminated sheet brace. Now we are cooking. It is a good thing we can innovate on the fly. Do it on “The Very Small Railroad” all the time. It is a good thing because the top of the boiler has to have room for six components: The engine light, the smokestack, the first sand dome, the bell, the steam dome, the second sand dome and somewhere a whistle. The whistle should be no problem. The rest will be a challenge. But we will make it happen. It is what we do here on The Omega Scale Railway. And one more thing. The car upgrades including re-upgrades are done and the first turnout as well. The arduous car upgrades did give birth to a new and better design component. Such is life here on The OSR. Working along, omscaler
