Last post, readers were informed that the shifter rebuild was steaming along. Omscaler is proud to announce that as of Monday, August thirty-first at approximately five fifteen P.M., the shifter was pronounced done. This was definitely a study in persistence. The cab alone has about twelve parts including internal bracing. The inclusion of seven top “appliances” took some effort as well. This is the fourth iteration of this particular locomotive. Some new features are a bell, a front number plate (no number readable), a primer toned cab roof hatch (for ventilation) and a more prototypical appearance to complete the project. The shifter is residing on the module and will soon begin shakedown operations. Wish us luck. Feeling lucky, omscaler
