Input on a "Temporary" Shelf Track Plan

[Brakie]

Larry-how do you generate your switch list? I have 6 areas to switch and my A/D track holds 3-4 cars. I could possibly bring in a couple of more than 4 cars but I would have to seperate them at some point because there is a road that crosses the tracks from a freight handling area to the other side of the layout.

I use a random rotation with switch lists or waybills.

I operate my ISLs based on Monday through Friday work week ..I like at least 7 industries and a "transload" track.

As examples.

Monday.
I will switch industries A,C,E.

Tuesdays
I will switch industries B,D,F.

Wednesday.
A,C,E G and the transload track.

Thursday

B,D,F

Friday
G,A,E and transload

I also like a 2 track "overflow" yard.This yard gets switch as needed.

I type each days switch list using Note pad and and then save it and then print it..I do this every week so I can rotate cars and eras at will without the need to retype the industry's name..Some days I may make a setout without a pickup or a pickup without a setout..I may spot a car in the "overflow" yard.
