Are you part of a modular model railroad club, and want to take your show operations to the next level? In this presentation, Rich Blake describes in detail how his On30 club on Whidbey Island near Seattle, WA, USA uses the JMRI-ops free software program to give operators train instructions for each type of train they like to run, including set-out and pick-up lists. He candidly describes the advantages and disadvantages of various approaches, and the compromizes they made to conduct smooth operations with a very minimum of set-up, with continuous ops over several days.
