Jeff, What you did is something I would do, and which is both encouraged AND EXPECTED on the prototype. (You can also imagine the effect eight years on the...
Dennis, This proves that ANY question, even tongue-in-cheek, while be answered! Well done Noel. Chuck P.S. I thought I saw some metal cars by Model Power in...
I recently converted my HO railroad to On30. The railroad had the same footprint but town names were changed. I printed out on a 4x6 card a footprint of the...
I'm lucky enough to regularly crew on a half dozen different layouts and to have had more than a decade of experience with a couple of those. My own layout...
... What is "THE prototype"? In spite of the generous efforts of Mssrs. King, Karas, Hanmer, Argiro, Mitchell, and too many others to list, there is no ONE set...

At the risk of stirring up the software debate again, the software I use here for car forwarding allows me to dictate in advance what trains run on specific...
Jim I use RailOp and there are 4 ways of limiting trains. If the session is short of crews, my trains have designations of A through D. I can run the D ...
The verbal thing is fine if you have the time. No way that woudl work on our railroad. I simply don't have that much time for talking. If you can't read and...
I've moved from being an 'operator' to a 'layout owner' in the last year. I've been fortunate enough to operate on many layouts across the country. All of...

Thinking back on the last 10 years, I only recall one or two times I've been at a layout where a single train took the whole session to work. All other...
