My first project for 2011, which spills back into the waning days of 2010, is the installation of the Terminal District Yardmaster Panel. I now have it completed to the point where I can switch on the South side of the yard (Coach Yard) and engine yard.
Now, all I have to do is figure out the "Rubik's Cube" procedure for switching passenger trains from the South Tail track. This isn't an issue with three-car passenger trains, but four cars is a challenge. Remaining is the Main Line, Pass, North Tail, Main Line Approach and the KUD transfer block. I could/maybe have them finished today but some minor health issues and other obligations demand my attention. Maybe I'll take a break and figure out how to swith the Coach Yard from the South Tail. I just checked, and I don't have a diagram of Terminal District in the Files section. I'll see if I can rectify that Bob Nicholson _______________________________________________ --- In [email protected], "danvandermause" <danvanderma...@...> wrote: > > Fred: > > You are right!
