As previously
reported, freight car reporting marks were elaborated upon. This part of the
project has indeed expanded. This is due to research in rail car numbers as
well as road name reporting marks mentioned in the preceding post. What was
determined was that railroads had hundreds to thousands of rail cars in
service. This fact, though seemingly obvious, becomes acutely to the forefront
when one starts this kind of research. The problem is, which do you include and
which do you leave out? In my case, I will be injecting some of my personal
favorites just for fun. You would do the same if you were me. Still, the
preponderance of choices is immense, very immense. Further still, we at The
Omega Scale Railway specialize in overcoming challenges. We believe that we can
reach a balance that will be both enjoyable and practical at the same time. The
work has begun! Or, should I say, “The fun has begun!”. Your omscaler
