Great Jim, More info on this.... If the TURN is sitting in Yard-A and another trains stops at the yard with cars for the TURN, those cars are placed onto the...
Or you hit the report button before doing anything with the train. Isn't that what we are now doing Kelly? And that is the roughly the same as reassigning...
Jim and Group, I uploaded a second spec into the FILES section for a side and top view of my thoughts on this. I'm trying not to duplicate too much on Yahoo...

I am on session 24 and it is still happening. This was a railroad that was copied from another Georgetown Branch setup so it is not built from scratch. But it...
Hello: I realize this is a little off-topic, but I know many of you and I want your opinion on metal wheel sets. What manufacturer do you think makes the best...
Hi Doug, I'ld definately stay away from brass rail. I doubt that there is much, if any difference in price at this time. I use InterMountain wheelsets and...

Jim, I'm going to try one last time to get my friend's RR to run the way he wants it to run using ProTrak. The cars seem to be moving pretty well thanks to...
Where on the railroad do you want the emty's stored? From what you have told me on the phone you have no access to the staging tracks. I also thought you said...
Hi Kelly, You have everything correct. The extra cars will not be stored on the RR - they will be "shelfed" off line. Bruce does not want extra cars on his ...
