Timetable-and-train-order dispatching
Never before the work of a dispatcher in MRR using TT&TO was explained in such detail and yet so easy to understand! Great article!
Good article by Andy Sperandeo on TT &TO dispatching. While I have collected Dispatcher train books over the years I have never run across the use of a Clearance stamp. Incidentally Staples sells a Trodat Do-It-Yourself Printy 4911 stamp kit. It comes in 3,4, or 5 line types and I used the 4 line type (I gave the “AT” its own line) for my Clearance stamp. The kit is easy to use once you learn to read backwards. Try one word first to see how it stamps - I speak from experience - before finishing.
Look forward to more articles on TT&TO dispatching.
I really enjoyed this article, it makes want to get my railroad up and running and follow these practices to increase the realism and emjoyment of operating a model railroad. I appreciate the ability to download the spreadsheets and modify them for my own railroad. Just a great article with the ability to really use what is presented.
Excellent article Andy, but according to the “Dispatching requirements” box on page 60, all the forms and train register are available at MR.com. I can only find the timetable and the train sheet ???
