Typing and yearning

 

As omscaler writes this post, once again the day is gorgeous with no clouds and fine temperature. As for the 2-6-0, we are now forming the boiler sheet. The diameter at the smallest point is nine sixty fourths of an inch. To do this takes a technique know as “quilling” but with a wider stock I think. Obviously, this is the most challenging part with this component being contiguous with the running boards. We had basically good success doing this with the shifter and we believe that we can repeat the success now. If we can just speed up some! Oh well. As for previously mentioned secrets, one is another turnout improvement may be in the works. Doing this takes away from other aspects of OSR construction. We will see. The second secret is that yours truly, omscaler has been invited to display the Murphysboro module at the Helena, Alabama annual train show. It is an honor to be invited to this fun event and I hope that people will take precautions and come out to see us. See you next post, omscaler
