I used JMRI switchlists for the Local switchers. These worked OK, however I didn't get enough time to pre-set the railroad and some cars were out of place. The guys handled this in there stride.
Josh Clark, a junior is becoming an integral part of the operations team. It is very pleasing having a young lad involved in the hobby.
Thanks to those of you who participated!!!!
