We're sorting out cars for a couple of local trains in the yard today.

I have a 12'x1' switching layout. Before I start switching, I flip a coin for every car spot and then switch out all the Heads.

@conrailhbgline 2 месяца назад

Every layout I operate on uses Car Cards and Waybills and in yards, each track has its own box so as cars are put into the track, their car cards go into that track's box. That group then ends up being the car cards for the trains when they leave the yard. Many times, the track is labeled for a specific train or there is a long "bookmark" with the train on it so you can move them around and assign as needed.

I use hand written switch lists. I created a modified version of the real thing and when cars come onto the layout from staging, their destinations are already on the list. Once those cars get to the main classification yard, they get switched into tracks by destination.

Maybe try Post-it Page Markers (narrow post-it notes). Sort by different color ones, or put the track number on them. You would have to keep the cars dusted off, so they would stick 😊.

Thanks Rick , nice little sesh there , and of course great to see Conductor Benjamin.. Cheers.. till the next time tc.

I operate on a layout that the yardmaster place a paper tag on top of the car indicating which yard tracks the car goes on. These paper tag are made up of color paper with the track number, they are about 1/2 inch wide, 1 inch tall, folded in half like tent.

I used to operate on a layout that used painted washers on top of the cars, held in place by a short piece of wire, for car forwarding. Between sessions the cars that were delivered would have their washers flipped over for its next routing. You would think it would be very intrusive but after a while you didn't even notice the washers unless you needed to. Anyway I'm liking your informal implementation of a formal system. Keep up the good work! p.s. Hope Benjamin got his treats okay.

Hey Rick, why don’t you just renumber the yard tracks from back to front 1-7 then there is no confusion with us or yourself! Love the yard movements!

hello Rick & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Rick & Friends Randy

You can call him "the new guy" as long as you want. Don't know if you're a Rush fan, but Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson referred to Neil Peart as "the new guy" the whole time he was in the band - which was 40 years by the time they retired.

Super realistic dust storm! New guy is becoming very efficient. Thanks Rick!

@steveg3981 2 месяца назад

Nice one. Enjoy your method. Thanks

A Benjamin appearance... The people are satisfied. Lol

Very cool, I enjoyed watching 👍🏻

I'm a JMRI fan also, but can understand the frustration with it at times. I use a tablet instead of printing all those switchlists! Enjoy all your videos and watching the progress on your layout. Definitely do what works for you!

@ianroberts6929 2 месяца назад

Great vid, as always - it’s so hard to find a system which is efficient, fun and unobtrusive, I’m still experimenting too!

@timber9705 2 месяца назад

I hope you vacuum the dust off your tracks before it gets sucked up into the locomotives. Cleaning the car over the railroad showed a lot of dust going down to the tracks.

Dust on cars = Indoor Weathering!!

@johnathanlewis2049 2 месяца назад

Hi Rick. Great video!!

@PacificEnterpriseNetwork 2 месяца назад

I know you're not a fan, but I use JMRI for my operations, since you asked :D I also run very small trains, so sorting them is very easy.

Your channel is addictive. I was out antiquing with my mom over the weekend, and it brought us past the DeSoto, MO, car shops - complete with a UP yard switcher (way less graffiti). It was like standing trackside by your yard. ❤

@socalscalemodels 2 месяца назад

That is awesome!

@josephjurkovic875 2 месяца назад

rick these videos are great under gummys, nice Real world? what?

@ajkleipass 2 месяца назад

Instead of push pins, use painted metal washers. The paint prevents accidental short-circuits, but being metal you can use a magnetic wand (like for getting that 10mm out of your engine block) for collecting them. Stripes of color could be used to indicate destinations in a tab-on-car routing system. Very old school!

Suggestion for New Guy name: Jeff

@HumancityJunction 2 месяца назад

In the prototype, I believe it was/is called chalking the cars. The conductor would use chalk and mark the side of the cars.

@johnbanicki7232 2 месяца назад

Have always enjoyed working in the yards. Thanks for sharing. And Ben is a little cutey. LOL

@dnhman 2 месяца назад

We mostly use waybills never any issue even switching out 25 car trains. Not a fan of sticking thing on the roofs

@NateHarmony-wz5gh 2 месяца назад

I usa usually just eye up my cars and put them in a track. Then if I dont like it I just switch them out

@davidbrown4823 2 месяца назад

Is new guy being paid less the those working long term? lol..Thanks Rick.

@josephjurkovic875 2 месяца назад

i used different color dots

@andyknott8148 2 месяца назад

Please tell me you only considered drilling holes in $30 cars for more than 0.0001 seconds You spent many hours detailing and weathering those cars to put holes in the top. I have a switch list that I consult, there is no rush, look at the list. If you rush, what else are you going to do for the rest of the evening, drink coffee and brush Ben.
