Label: Whew! Now we're done!
It is now 11:28 P.M. A few minutes ago at 11:24 P.M. I looked at the clock to mark the time of completion of the previously mentioned shifter (switcher). I am working this late in order to complete this project and get it written about on the blog. A few statistics. The shifter is an 0-6-0 steam switcher, a very common type on the railroad in the steam era. I noted the project sheet with the date 3/10/18. It is now May 7th. I plan on doing a part tally for my own curiosity. I am guessing the count is between one hundred fifty to over two hundred parts. The shifter has a prototype road number of 45 with the initials G.M.&O., on both sides of the tender and a number on the rear of the tender as well. I am going to get pics up on the blog and Facebook with the latter being more numerous. As mentioned before, this project seemed to go on forever. For a while, I felt like I was building a real locomotive. The more I did, the more there was to do. Yours, a now relieved and resting omscaler
