Waybill Systems For Interesting Train Operation
Club member Franky asks:
“I’m bored with just running my trains around and around my layout. Part of it is my own fault, because the track config is just a main line with a couple of sidings. I have space to include a branch line, so I know when I add that, it will provide more variety. What I need is more purpose for my system. I know a little about the basics of how waybills work, but I need more input. What do others use to operate and justify their railroad layouts?”

If you go back to 23rd April, you will find a blog entry entitled “Do you enjoy prototypical operations on your model railroad?” which might help as it had about a dozen comments.

It really depends on your layout.
I had the same feeling, so I made a lot of job cards, meaning, eg “lumber yard has a load of timber, must go to harbor. Each session I shuffle the deck, pick about 8 cards, assemble the train and off I go to do pick ups and deliveries.
