Thanks for the prompt. I’m going to get onto it right now!
Cheers, Max.

To date I have selected a partially random set of trains (mostly passenger) which are run through the station as the whim takes me. This occasionally leads to conflicts, mainly on a bi-directional track through the station. Having read this article, has made me realise that a waybill system (with additional instructions) would make my life as a sole operator a lot easier and could reduce the number of conflicts.

Out of interest, my track plan can be seen at
http://trains.manvell.org.uk/layouts/z-scale/Breitenfurt/images/Trackplan-latest.jpg .
The bi-directional track can be seen between the two main platforms.

In addition to the traditional waybill entries, pre- and post-instructions would be a great help. E.G.
Set (Yard) Tk3 to Up Main
Set Up Main to Tk 1 (that’s next to station building!)
Check Tk1 starter set to danger
Run V120 local.

or

Set (station) Tk2 to Up Main (clearing starter).
Set Up Main to (Yard) Tk1
Run BR61 express.

Note. Signals are automatically set clear by selecting the route and set to danger once train has passed them. All controlled by diode matrices.
