Searching on "Barrett track cleaning car" and "Barrett cleaning car" yielded no hits, but yet I know there were relatively recent threads on it.

Can someone tell me whether his improvement was an article in OGR or a forum thread. If an article, can you point me to the issue.

thanks - walt

This one Walt?

Walt,

Originally an article (Run 204, December 2004, page 126). Some aspects of various track cleaning cars were discussed here occasionally, but never a complete description of Jim's conversion. It's worth seeking out the article.

Lima nd vbkostur: did you do a search and if you did what did you search on?? I tried about 10 things and each resulted in "not found". Yes, those are good threads!

Jim, thanks - I do remember the article being detailed. I didn't realize it was THAT long ago!!! 2004!!! Wow. I went thru my issues back thru and including 2006 and when I didn't find it I figured it was NOT an article. I thought it was like 2 years ago and going back to 2006 was foolish. Ha.

thanks guys - walt

Walt,

I do that all the time! If I think something happened a few years ago, it always turns out to be more like 10 years!

Jim

For what it's worth, it appears that the search function on the upcoming NEW OGR FORUM works MUCH better than this one. The search engine within Eve (this forum's software platform) never worked very well.

I agree 100% with your statement about the current search engine Rich!!!!

I rarely find what I KNOW exists. Sometimes to test the search feature, or find a way to make it work for me, I will try finding something in a title of a thread that I am looking at and it won't find it. That sort of confirms the "major issues" perspective!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one.
