I posted one or two more a year or 2 ago... I'll have to dig around the board to see if I can find them - if they still exist. 

 Searching, I see you had a thread called "Professor Zug's Switching School" in december 2011 (http://cs.trains.com/trn/f/111/t/200183.aspx), but the pictures must have been deleted, moved or renamed on photobucket .

I could probably create some more if there is interest.  Actually that is the part I miss most about switching around in the yard: the planning.    The actual work wasn't bad, but I always enjoyed when I could create a plan that worked like clockwork.  And I had the bosses and yardmasters that allowed me the freedom to switch as I mostly wanted to, as long as the cars ended up in the right spots at the right time.

 I'd like to see some more, if you have the time to make any.

 Smile,
 Stein
