Last night was operating night, and I brought the video camera. Well, I spent the evening re-wiring a AC 4-8-2, so we didn't run many trains, but as I had the camera with me,  I shot a quick video of the layout at the end.

More next time!

Hallo together,

at our last gathering I gave a  "Check box 2: Proceed from XY to Appaloosa Junction; Check box 10: Clear main track at last named point" - warrant to the crew of a local. Appaloosa Junction was under Yard Limits from a little bit farther right as the photo shows right down to the red elevator at the upper edge of the photo.

Hi.

I'm new to Track Warrent Control, even though I have seen it been used in some OpSession videos and also listened to the prototype radio via internet (I live i Sweden).

Is there any good site to learn more about TWC?
And would it work without using radio between the drivers and the dispatcher?

How do you block your local freights? All the cars to one station together?

If there is a small station with just one passing siding and spurs with both facing and trailing points, I would find it wise to put the car for the spur with a facing point in the rear and the car for the trailing point spur in the head end.

But that gives the yard crew a lot of things to have in mind - maybequite a headache, and I'd rather not do that. How do you block your trains? Station by station, or customer by customer?
