About 8:15, PM, Central Standard Time, a brand new thirty-four foot covered hopper was placed on the Murphysboro module. This is the first of four being produced. The reason this one was finished ahead of the others is that omscaler had a friend who wanted to see the railcar. This person had asked about it after we had shared our model railroad activities when I visited the local model railroad club. Since he was kind enough to ask to see the finished work, omscaler decided to push one to completion so as not to prolong his wait. Another reason the lone covered hopper was completed ahead of the others is that some innovative construction methods were being used. This improved the timing enough to go ahead and get it done. Some more improvements will be tried on the remaining three as well. Should not be too long now. Hastening the day, omscaler
