Realistic Operations with Waybills & Carcards for Model Railroad

[@stoobieman]

You are the Ingmar Bergman / Lasse Hallstrom of Model Railroad videos! After watching and reading many videos and articles on operations, yours just paints it perfectly succinctly. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you! 👍😊 Operations is what’s makes my train go round! I can sometimes just sit and watch long distance passenger trains run, but most of the time it’s not enough for me. I need the operations!

[@Mookie1340]

Thank you for explaining how the Waybill system works. One thing worth thinking about, when constructing a layout.

[@PennCentral13]

Would love to see an updated version of this video with all the changes that have happened on the layout plus a detailed walkthrough of every train that is run during a typical session.

Man I’d love to go to Sweden and just apprentice under this guy for about 10-15 years

The Lowmein you'll have to change your name to Joergen.

[@Carlosmarinito]

This is been very useful to me, Martin...thanks a lot!. I´ve begun to operate with similar waybills and car cards.

[@marklinofsweden]

Good to hear you liked it and that you set your own system up. :) I think it's a great way to operate the layout.

[@alanandammakingnewmemories2950]

wow found this old vlog from awhile ago but so helpful as I am trying to get into operations cheers Alan

[@RalphPCvids]

Very enjoyable and clear explanation of the use of four destination car cards!

[@marklinofsweden]

+RalphPCvids Thank you Ralph! :)

[@strafrag1]

Excellent, Martin. I have been doing this kind of operations for some time now only without the car cards. The cards do make things a little more interesting. Oh, don't forget to re-bill customers who have not paid their shipping bills yet. LOL. Cheers,Peter.

[@marklinofsweden]

+strafrag1 Thank you Peter! Hehe! You're funny. I've must admit that I completly forgot to invoice the industries on the layout! ;) Finally I see some income for the model railroading coming my way! :)

[@strafrag1]

+marklinofsweden hahah...I'm no Donald Trump (thank god) but I do know the value of a $$$.Cheers.

[@jhoodfysh]

Nicely done Martin.

[@malquezare]

Congratulations! Excelent explanation. very elucidative and clear in all aspects. Thank you to share with us.

[@Astranamic]

This is such a fun concept and I'm using it on my layout

[@afrikayt]

What do you use to uncouple the specific cars? I know that there is a digital-controlled coupler option out there for locomotives, but never seen specific cars uncouple like that before, and I couldn't see any built-in track uncoupler...is it magic???

[@JoeG-firehousewhiskey]

Thanks you very much, this is exactly what I was looking for!!! Keep up the good work!

[@marklinofsweden]

Joe G I’m so glad you liked it! 👍😊 Operations really brings a new dimension Nd fun to the model railroad.

[@arvegudal9473]

Very good explanation. Keep up the good work. Very enjoyable.

[@andreaugustodafonseca927]

Very useful tips! Thank you again!

[@malquezare]

Parabens! excelente exlicação. Muito elucidativo e claro em todos os aspectos. Obrigado por compartilhar conosco.

[@herberthorz3514]

Hello Martin, I am from Germany and I like your Tutorials. Some Tutorials you explain in german but not all. I will be happy if you can make all Tutorials in german.

[@911Polini]

thx 4 that, but how are do coupling with hand,digital...

[@williamluebbers6391]

I just think your videos are great. I recently bought a m track layout from an individual that is pretty extensive. No running stock but a lot of switches and trackage. Would like to share some pics with you to maybe get some info and pointers from you.

[@jamessullivan9034]

Martin, the links to the car card and waybill spreadsheets do not work - can you re-link them? thank you.

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you for the feedback on this! The link has now been corrected.

[@IamMagPie]

Very interesting - looks entertaining. Gives yet another dimension to the model railroading. Love your videos. Thumbs up given from Norway PS: at 07:20 I see some very nice prototypical Swedish masts for the overhead catanery wire. May I please ask where you buy these? Thank you.

[@jcwonder]

Genial, gracias.

[@gorcbj]

I would like to ask how you handle connecting and disconnecting cars and locomotives from eachother, I know some of the locomotives have a function that lets you do that from the console, but from what I can see most of yours do not. Do you use a disconnector rail? Or do you handle it manually? I'm very curious to hear it from you.

[@jenskiesewetter8474]

how did you manage that the brake sabots of the locomotives can be heard at low speeds?

[@geirmelgardsbakken8650]

Great consept :)

[@josmith5704]

how are you able to operate multiple engines independently on the same track

[@marklinofsweden]

Hi Jo! Operation of multiple engines is possible using a digital system. In a digital system all engines are powered at all times. The track power also contains a data signal which addresses each loco individually. The speed controller for the motor is inside each engine. The speed controller are listening on the track power for new speed commands which matches the address of that engine. Wish you a nice weekend!

[@AlexEhn]

Det här är superintressant tycker jag! Kul! Men, har varje lok en definierad rutt? Eller är det vagnarnas olika waybills som bestämmer vart tåget ska? Hur vet du i så fall vilken vagns fraktsedel som "bestämmer" över tågets rutt? Mycket intressant tycker som sagt. Mer sånt här. :)

[@marklinofsweden]

+Alexander Ehn Tack Alexander! 👍 På min anläggning kör jag ett norrgående och ett södergående godståg. Sedan har jag en bibana som ansluter till bangården på huvudstation, så då blir det dagligen ett blandat tåg upp dit och tillbaka. Det räcker de flesta dagarna. Ibland är det väldigt mycket gods och då sätter jag in ett extra godståg där det behövs. Detta då jag har en max tåglängd pga spårlängd i bangårdarna på 16 axlar + lok.

[@AlexEhn]

Tack för svar! Så norra och södra skuggbangårdarna agerar "omvärlden" föbundet med ett genomgående dubbelspår, typ? Har läst igenom märklintåg.se noggrannt, kul att följa din utveckling och dina olika layouter. =) Blir ändock inte helt klokt på hur din nuvarande layout hänger ihop med layoutskissen på hemsidan. Mystiken tätnar, vart kommer helixarna in i bilden. Var tvungen att jämföra layoutskissen med de layoutvideos du har gjort. Nördigt, men kul. :)

[@marklinofsweden]

+Alexander Ehn 😄

[@rvooyen]

And I thought I was the only Marklin ops guy. Looks like your excel is from the CC forum, I have the same. You also have Rocrail, it also has a cc admin part. Have you tried jmri ops switch lists? Robert

[@marklinofsweden]

+robert van ooyen (rvooyen) Hi Robert! Thank you for commenting. I´m not familliar with CC forum.. I Think I downloaded the outline of the waybills and carcards from Fremo webpage, but I´m not sure.. Many years ago... No I haven´t tried the CC admin in Rocrail. I was under the impression it was "under Construction" and not ready for operation yet. Maybe I´m wrong there?

[@Astranamic]

Joergen👍

[@dacuzzz]

hello... just want you to know that i have subbed to your channel.. also i will be using your water technique for the river scene i have on my layout.. i would appreciate it if you take a look at my channel.. the river scene will be posted in a couple of weeks.. thanks for sharing.. vinny

[@marklinofsweden]

+bnsf6951 So glad to hear you like it! :) Hey, seems like you have sessions going on your layout too. Great fun!
