JMRI Expertise needed
Posted by JohnnyB on Saturday, January 20, 2018 3:14 PM

Looking for some guidance to JMRI Operations mode as I am new to the program. 

1) After I create a switchlist, I want to save it as a PDF file and send it to my tablet and use my tablet as my switchlist. But I don't see how that can be done.

2) I have an interchange with 2 tracks. Each track will hold 6 cars. I want one to be strictly outgoing. In other words heading to destinations off layout. (also called the storage drawers under the layout) I want the other track to be just for inbound cars. Is there a way to designate the difference, so my interchange turn will know where to drop off and where to pick up?

Any help is appreciated.

I'll second Peter's suggestion. 

Dan, the guy who writes most of the Ops code hangs out there and is VERY responsive to user questions and issues.

I also use Ops, and Dan has provided answers, tips, and even made a change to how Ops works to accommodate me.
