On the prototype I am modeling, there are several flag stop station stops along the route of the doodlebug and I am wondering how I could model a "flag stop"...
You could probably make some sort of LED Light at or before the station. If its on, they will stop. If its off ( Or you can use a diff color ), they can just...

An old switch machine could be used to lift a flag or set a couple of green and white LED "lanterns" on the platform. Alternately, the old choke cable control...

The tank car type is T108 for ethanol loading, Harry. Check message 40701 in the archives, or search "ethanol" in the search box for more ideas. There has been...
Is it just me or is there something with this video that doesn't seem right at all. A train like that wouldn't stop on a dime yet it doesn't effect the trains...

Mark, I take a similar approach on my switch list: the two passenger trains have a planned stop at the large towns, but randomly have special instructions for...
Paul, How about a short list at the top of the paperwork with a box to check to indicate which stations need a stop? It would be prototypical. During an...
Hi Lou, Note the prototype example I cited earlier. On the Santa Fe, at least, your flagstop passenger would be waving a white flag rather than a red one. So...

Paul's comment reminds me that we should take note that half of the flag stops don't require a flag because they are for passengers getting off the train. So...
