Automated computer dispatcher program
Sitting on my back porch having nightly libation while listening to my railroad scanner on my Ipad of RR action in the Jacksonville, FL area and had an idea (a rare thing!). For solo operations it would be neat if I had a way to use a radio interfacing with a computer program (PC, Ipad,whatever) that ran an automated program to imitate a live dispatcher.
LAYOUT EDITOR DISPATCHER PANEL
This video will demonstrate working with key parts of the layout editor panel for my railroad. I am fixing it so the dispatcher can follow the train around layout by ID number or train ID. One of three videos I have on You Tube Channel on JMRI LAYOUT EDITOR

MRH podcast
Hi All,
Just wondering what happened to Paul, Ryan and the podcast. There haven't been any updates since Oct 2012.
Tonnage Ratings
How does everyone come up with their max cars per train? Do you use siding length, cars per axle, or more prototypically engine rating. I am guessing the latter would not be used modeling as we really can not get that many cars on the average layout.
I presently use a limiting factor of siding length, but am thinking of going a different route and changing it to one car per wheel on powered engines.
What are the thoughts and thinking out there?
Operations on the Dames Point Railroad
Posted a new video of an operating session on the Dames Point Railroad. Follow along with the crew of A-215, The Magnolia, as they drop off and pick up some cars on the route.
Switching with Tab Waybills
The following is a series of photos showing how I switch cars using “tab waybills”. In this case, the waybills are ¾” Avery labels stuck on both sides of fender washers (two cycle waybills). Enjoy or ignore, the choice is yours.
