Just one form

Here is what I use for my 27" x 27' switching layout:

Forms

Timetable

Train orders - if required (form 19)

Train register

Car cards and waybills

Switch lists (if operators want them)

Location maps (attached to fascia)

Blocking diagrams (attached to fascia)

Job descriptions

what paperwork are you using

My layout is a small "what-if' layout. I use homemade switchlists, based on a waybill system developed by Mike Weiss and published in the OPSIG's Dispatch Office.

Just Starting

I have just started my layout, but I have decided I will use one similar to Tom Driscoll's Simple Car Card System that was in the January 2012 issue of MRH.

Switchlist

I use Switchlist, a program for the Mac.

Very simple industry requirement card

At a club I go to we use an industry requirement card. It might say Acme Ind. needs 4 box cars, when they are delivered all the rolling stock there is removed. You never use car numbers or road names, only car types. You never have to search for lost cars. Just keeping it simple.

Switch lists

Hi,

Here's a switch I made. This is based off a Union pacific prototype.
