Richard, I use a really simple system. No cards for any cars. Identify the area (destination) where you want to run your train. Identify the various industries or spur tracks in that area. For each industry or spur, list the types of cars (box,tank, reefer, etc) that logically could go there. From this information make out a card showing the industries and the number (1,2,3,not the specific car number) and type of cars that will make up your train. Do this several times alocating different cars each time. If this approach seems interesting, let me know at dirk@mcsi.net and I will send a more complete description.
