This month has seen confirmation of order for the new control system and work on the revised schedules. I was away from home assiting family for a couple of weeks then I have been unwell so it has not been as productive as anticipated.
Control System Replacement
I have confirmed my order for NCE equipment with the Australian distributor Model Rail Road Craftsman Shop and delivery is anticipated to be late July or early August.
Revised Ops Sessions
Work on the new schedules for all trains has commenced. There are 135 different movements in the schedule which have had travel times updated due to improving the efficiency factor as outlined last month.
Below is an example of a schedule.
Each of these movments have an associated train graph which will be used a component of the overall operating session train graph. I have processed 26 so far so still a long way to go.....
Below is an example of a graph.
The previous Session 1 had 39 movements excluding those in the main yard this will reduce with the reduction of crews from 5 to 4.
What gets included in the new Session 1 is still to be decided.
That's it for now so until next time.....
-ooOOOoo-
