How would your car card and waybill system work for unit coal trains

[@kevinbrown104]

I have seen car cards that represent blocks of cars as a way to simplify things. However, if the unit trains do not change make up nor get switched out, I question whether they need cards at all. That's what I do with the two unit trains on currently running on my layout. Hope that helps - Kevin

I desperately need to talk to someone at Athearn abt ordering some parts for my bigboy can you help

What if the dispatchers spots an empty car that is needed at another industry

[@kevinbrown104]

If a car gets spotted at the wrong industry, the card should still be there to show the mistake. I have no more waybills than the siding capacity, so there are not supposed to be any "off spot" situations. I hope that answers your question.

Why so many track cleaning cars? It seems like your layout room is pretty clean. Your layout looks great and operations should be a lot of fun. Lots of fun stuff here. Good work and thanks for sharing.

[@kevinbrown104]

Thanks for your comments. I read about a layout in MR many years ago that placed a track cleaning car in its freight trains, and it just sounded like a good idea to try someday. Anything that can minimize track cleaning chores will be welcome.
