Label: They're here!

That's right, they're here! Last Tuesday pm I picked up the very first order of the production run wood sheathed boxcars. They are fantastic! The reason I am writing about it a week later is that I needed time to evaluate the boxcars. Otherwise I would be telling about how they looked to the exclusion of other qualities. So, that is where we are. This upgrade will bring us to a new plateau at The Omega Scale Railway. To reiterate, our goal is to bring omega scale railroading to the world. New members of our family are as follows: GM&O 51015, GM&N 20141, GM&O 51017, GM&O 6170, SSW 37502, GM&O 6172, SEABOARD 15717, NH 61753, GM&N 20143, CB&Q 28001, MP 14915, GM&N 6094. We are delighted to have all these on the property (I.E. the assembly shop). These new arrivals have true to scale letters and numbers with one exception. We decided to use 12 inch instead of 9 inch letters and numbers for the benefit of the end user. The 9 inch graphics were very hard to see. The 12 inch size is in fact borderline but we want to stay as true to prototype as possible for the benefit of our collectors. More developments to follow. Omscaler

Well, well, I hope I posted the blog(s) on the right date! I recently noticed the title bar on the computer indicated three days later! I think I figured out what in the world I did. There is a massive train show in Bessemer, Alabama on June 9^th. My brain probably got so excited about the show that it could only relate things to that date. I hate it when it does that! :( Once at a model train show in Huntsville, Alabama, I was so excited about the show taking place in a historic round house, when I purchased a model train magazine in the caboose, model train shop that was there as well, I paid for the magazine and left it on the counter at the register. I think the clerk thought I had gone “ 'round the bend”. People like me have “(model) train mania”. No known cure. Anyway, I will get it all straightened out. So, for the latest update. The print project is scheduled to be completed this week. Preliminary work looks great! This will pave the way for more ideas. I think I'm excited! Hopefully, I can calm down. A giddy omscaler

There is an old song that says a beautiful woman is like a melody. Why is that? Well, have you ever heard a piece of music and later you could not get it out of your head? That's what the song means. You become acquainted or even just meet one and there you are. You can't get her out of your head. What a wonderful distraction, hopefully. Another thing is, a beautiful woman can be inspiring. Think about Venus, the Goddess or the athlete your preference. Or Helen of Troy, why was she called Helen of Troy, she came from Greece? But, anyway, you get my point. Now, here is what this has to do with The Omega Scale Railway. People need inspiration in their lives to accomplish great things. What is great to one may not seem so great to another. Never the less, if you or I need something to push us to do what daunts us gather inspiration from whatever source it comes. Even if it is a beautiful woman. P.S. The Omega Scale Railway just may relate to beautiful women in an unexpected way. More on this later. The omscaler
