[Brakie]

A few ideas for an operation session would be great... Lets say some cars coming inbound and a few needing to be respotted... Maybe just and example of one industry, say the top right....and/or top left.... Waiting with bated breath Brakie... Wish I knew more about these kinds of ops, have read a lot but it gets rather confusing.... like what goes where etc... obviously on this layout the Geeps will push the cars that are inbound... would they be dropped in the interchange and the other pulled all the way back to the small yard of the left or just wait to be pushed back??

First I would separate operation into week days(Monday-Friday) and then figure out a industry rotation plan this way each industry doesn't get switch every operation period.

Let's Switch the team track and one of the industries today..We'll call this operation Monday.

For the team tack inbound we have 2 gons of steel tubes and outbound is a empty boxcar.

We have 2 loaded boxcars for warehouse #2 and one pick up.
----------------------------------
Tuesday..

We have 3 cars for the food processor and no pick ups.

2 cars for warehouse #4 and 3 pick ups.

Wednesday
Arrive light(engine only) with pick up from the team track and 1 car from #2 warehouse.

Thursday

We have setouts for the team track,food processor and warehouse #2.

Pick up includes warehouse #4 and team track.

Friday

Set outs for warehouse #4.

Pickups food processor-Tuesday cars-Warehouse #4 Wednesday's setouts.
-----------------------
This is the way I operate my ISLs so I won't jam up my ISLs with lots of setouts where it would become unworkable or to much like a switching puzzle plus it gives the industries time to unload the cars..
