My Take On Operations "Game"

[Gary S]

I agree with Russ. Incoming loads would originate "off the layout" and outgoing loads would be headed "beyond the basement" too. A newly unloaded car could be moved to another industry needing an empty, and the use of a "storage yard" could also be used as an "on-layout" destination.

Richard, other than that, I've been thinking for awhile of using a system similar to yours, except with car cards and waybills.
