Using The ShipIt! Computer Program On An ISL

[FCIN]

I also appreciate your efforts. I had been considering using this or a similar program for my layout. Not that I would be able to use it, since my layout isn't even started yet.

Dave;

Got a track plan? If so, you might consider playing around with ShipIt! just based on your track plan and how you'd operate it and see how it works for you - something to do until you get started building your layout. All I've succeeded in doing at this point is just temporarily putting down my track so that I could actually run a train and do some switching, but in addition to seeing how my proposed plan would work out, it also gave me the chance to see just how well ShipIt! would or wouldn't work for me.

I'd really consider using it myself, IF I could just get it to duplicate a couple of prototype situations and the generated switch lists were more like the prototype or could be modified in some way to look more prototypical. Over all, I'd rate it 9 out of a possible 10.
