Happy Anniversary!

That’s right! It’s us again! We are marking five years this month. Actually February 14th. Since the fourteenth was on a Monday, omscaler decided to mark the event in this post. We are very proud of what we have accomplished so far. Frankly, omscaler had no idea how much work would be involved to bring this dream into fruition. We knew it would not be easy. We believed then and now it would be well worth it. The Omega Scale Railway continues to inspire us. Talk about continuous process improvement. Even as this is being written, ideas that save time and effort are being used. In this specific case, the ten-car hopper project needed both a railroad name and reporting marks on each side of the car. Initial trials called for one hundred sixty appliques to get the job done. Omscale knew this could be improved upon. We got ‘er down to twenty. The new design is much easier to install. This is a major tour-de-force for the building department. This is the kind of innovation that has become the hallmark of The Very Small Railroad. Other ideas are already waiting in the wings. This is what keeps us excited around here. Itching to go, omscaler
