Last post omscaler said winter was over. Omscaler made a large blunder. Snow on the ground last Saturday. Remind me not to be a weatherman. And headed toward seventy-five degrees two days after this will be posted! Oh well. Anyway. Been busy around here with non-model railroad stuff. Had to be done. The good news is that with the stuff out of the way, we can resume with the important work on the hopper group. Omscaler is still working on the end slope sheets. Next will be the middle slope sheets. The method we are using now has us making the car components from a thinner card stock for ease of cutting. The normal black stock is 110# weight card and is a bear to cut. This stock will also delaminate if it needs to bend. The current stock is white so the added step of tinting it off black is needed. This is not too much trouble. The end result is a better-looking railcar. Continuing this important work, omscaler
