I have a train register and each time a crew has to visit the agent in town and get their switchlist and/or orders, the agent notes the time on the paperwork and on the train register as well - "OSing" them through each town. It gives the crews & agent an additional prototype task each time they get to a town. Whether the crew receives orders or has switching to do in that town or not, they still have to check in with the agent, and the agent has to check the clock.Chris Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052818057825432279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376057412116187041.post-971365651684404602014-11-03T06:45:30.719-08:002014-11-03T06:45:30.719-08:00Hi Chris:
Is there a need on your layout for one ...Hi Chris:<br /><br />Is there a need on your layout for one or more train registers?<br /><br />They'll be listed in your prototype employee time table and were common at junctions and terminals. If you do need one (or more), then you would need a (fast) clock so crews can record the time that their trains arrive and leave the register point.<br /><br />I wrote about train registers on my own blog, here:<br /><br />http://themodelrailwayshow.com/cn1950s/?p=4533<br /><br />Just a thought about turning something "nice to have" into something "essential" for an ops session.<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />- TrevorTrevorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09860331796911162859noreply@blogger.com
