So, the results are in from testing the STS program I posted on previously. Although the system does what it states it does, and prints out realistic looking waybills and good looking car cards, the amount of computer time to input everything is quite time consuming, even for a fairly small layout such as mine. I’d hate to have to input all this data for a basement size layout with say three or four hundred pieces of rolling stock.
I only used the waybills and switchlists from this program, and again, they look pretty realistic I must say. I think going forward however I’ll plan to print copies of my PC industries switchlist from my collection, and simply hand write the information in. Photo below of this switchlist:

I have been a railfan since the age of 6, and a modeler since the age of fourteen. This is my first fully (well not quite) completed model railroad. I fell in love with trains early in life, ride them when I can, have volunteered on many steam fan trips and have ridden many more steam excursion trips, have belonged to several model rr clubs, and did a stint as a brakeman/conductor on a midwest regional railroad. My layout was published in Model Railroader magazine in 2016. I hope all of you enjoy the ride here on my sites! I now have the second blog/website up for my other hobby: wargaming with Flames Of War. I have been involved in wargaming off and on since my teens......
