I had a cool idea.... <br />I noticed that coffee shop, thing thread, and made me wonder... <br />I really dont know what goes on in that tread, but is it like a Role-playing resteraunt? <br />If it is (or not) it gave me an idea... We have a thread per subdision... Get where im going? <br />A text based, online Railroad! <br /> <br />Example ( i hope you dont mind me using your name, BNSF Railfan.!) <br /> <br />BNSF Railfan.: " BNSF Q1 is heading to Spokane Track1" <br />Me (dispatcher): "Alright Q1, switches lined, and you will get the green soon." <br />****************** <br />BNSF Q1 is occuping MAIN 1 <br />****************** <br /> <br />Then, no one can use main 1 until BNSF Railfan says he has cleared, this would require a map (a made one, or offical), then you use the exact speed limit, and measuer the distance, caculate, and recive a arrival time. Things can pause the timer, like another train, or problem (derailment, "maintnace".) <br /> <br />So, <br /> <br />******************* <br />BNSF Q1 WILL ARIVE ON SPOKANE TRACK1 AT 1:00PM <br />******************* <br />Dispatcher gives BNSF Railfan. a red signal due to maintnace, so he changes the arival time... <br />******************* <br />BNSF Q1 WILL NOW ARIVE AT SPOKANE TRACK1 AT 1:30 PM DUE TO TRACK MAINTNACE ON MAIN1 <br />******************* <br /> <br />I dunno, could work , need some thinking, and details... <br />
