Welcome to 2025! omscaler is super optimistic about this year. Lots of things planned. Lots of goals on the list. To set the stage for this year let’s look at what got done in 2024. The last completed project was the PS-1 boxcar. This project was very innovative. Features: True PS-1 sheet steel sides were recreated. The sides and door were laser cut. It is an open-door boxcar. Actual boxcar number and reporting marks were applied. Next was an improved turnout design. Features: One moving part. Along with this omscaler made a number of switch stand targets. The Union City module was completed. This module has an interchange track. Another first for The Omega Scale Railway. Figures were made for the railroad. Trees were made. Automobiles were built. Several structures were built or installed (one built a few years back). An improved pocket box for carrying a sample was purchased. A prefabricated track building method was developed. To support railcar upgrades, a parts backstock was begun. An improved car truck side-frame building method was developed. Whew! Omscaler thinks he may have forgotten one or two things. The PS-1 boxcar was also the beginning of a major boxcar upgrade. As of writing this post, there are nine more to go. So, as readers can see omscaler has been busy. 2025 sees a list of about twenty goals for the new year. Omscaler will stay busy. Until next post, omscaler
