Aloha All!
Yay! We finished all the projects we set out for ourselves this year! I even came close to mastering the “straight cut.” This last was a project of opportunity prompted by a kind donation of some couplers for a transition car to let our eggliner, the Oma Bea-liner in Triple O service, pull some cars around the railroad. It was a light project while I worried over the mill intended to keep the kids involved, to give me a chance to do battle with “Sabre Saw,” and to make sure we had a suitable car to pull their other home made creations.
The project actually began in September. Kid-zilla immediately recognized the implications of the couplers…
…and we quickly had a little flat car based upon our cane car design…
