These forms are simplified version of those used by prototype railroads
Model Railroader‘s HO scale project layout is based on the Virginian Ry. in Spring of 1955. It’s a 4 x 8 operating layout with a number of places that it can be expanded.

thanks video with details and paperwork for operation as looking use this when build my further HO Clinchfield railroad layout in further when build my 80ft x 40ft railroad layout room which from Model Railroader magazine in 1979 and the book was print in 1980.
I like the paperwork might use them.
I like the paperwork samples. I may be able to adapt them to what I am working on. Thanks!
David,
Since I am new to operations, can you make an actual operation available for us newbies to help us get started? Having, or better yet perhaps a video describing each train, PU, drop off, etc….
Having us being able to print an operations schedule would help greatly.
I really liked the simple and effective switch list, I plan to make mine from Micro-soft word/excel. Also going to make the "Mine order" but will title it "Elevator order" for my grain elevators.
Coincedince! I'm modelling the VGN in HO scale in 1955! I did use the Micro-Mark system of cards, but I think the Mine order cars work the best. And I don't even have to buy them, I can just print them off of my computer!
Ahh technology…ya gotta love it. I was still "out on the mainline" when these pics were taken, I didn't arrive until July 1955.
I am really happy I subscribed to Model Railroader Magazine when I did. The benefits of online preview videos and articles about the hobby is just what I was looking for. What a Christmas present!
It would be nice if the Mine Block & Mine Order & switchlist forms made it possible to enter your own railroad's name. Good examples anyway. Thanks
How exactly does the car scale work? Is it specially programmed for HO scale in some way?
