That was a nice discussion and explanation, Rick! You have to make yourself happy, even if it seems weird to someone else. I have no experience with operations, so it is all interesting when channels do it or discuss their systems.
That was very interesting Rick. Thanks for mentioning my simple database idea. I don’t yet get into identifying individual cars for my switching jobs. Take 4 full grain hopper from loc1 to loc2 and pick up empties. Half the jobs I have are just running full unit trains around the layout.
Hey Fred! Whatever way works for you and satisfies your goals - that is the right system. I thought your video was very interesting (and obviously inspirational as well!!). Take care my friend, Rick
Great video Rick. We use cards at our club and it’s super simple. One day I’d like to try JMRI. Oh, and also, nice to see a bunch of guys operate your layout. I didn’t know it was ready to go. You even have a phone! Where have I been?
Hi Mark, thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, I have had 10 op sessions on the layout in the past 14 months. A lot of time and effort put into working out the car movement methodology but now it seems to be working well. The railroad is set in 1947 and there was no radio communication on the Ma & Pa -so the crews have to contact dispatch via the telephones at each town. Thanks again, Rick

Thanks Anthony! Yeah, once I finally decided I was just gonna do it, it has been great. Thanks for watching!
Wow that is really interesting! Great explanation, thanks for sharing! 🙂
@@LJRLowevilleJunctionRailroad glad you found it interesting. I am very happy with how the railroad Op Sessions run using it. Thanks for watching.

Thanks! It is working well for me.
