I agree fully about the ease, fun, and realisticality of car card and waybill operations! I've been using that system for ~3 years on my layout, and I've never even considered changing to a different system!I've so far held two operating sessions, and the system worked great and is well liked by me and my operators. When I build my fascia (hopefully soon so I can resume ops sessions!), then I need to put in lots of bill boxes, labels for industries (right now I use temporary labels too), and sorting/storage shelves to set waybills and throttles down on.Robby, I agree with Kevin that the system works with one person as well. I run my local by myself every so often, and I couldn't run the job without car cards and waybills! It's very relaxing to run out a single engine local and spend an hour or so puttering around on the main (without any other trains to get in the way) switching industries...especially when the momentum of the locomotive is way up around CV value 25, that really encourages you to take your time and enjoy the job!
