Stockyard Industrial Lead: Adding an Off-Spot Location in JMRI

- In this video, I share how I add an off-spot location to JMRI for switching customers on my model railroad layout. The off-spot location is a place for staging freight cars that are going to a customer when the customer's spur is full. In JMRI, I add a yard track and then assign that as the off-spot location for the customers in the area.

This was exactly what I was looking for! Otherwise JMRI would not allow me to deliver cars because of not enough space. Now I can drop off cars to be delivered to off-spot while I pull out the pick-ups. Thanks Eric!
Excellent, glad to hear this was helpful!
This is another redo video, originally posted on December 25. I finally got the editing to cooperate so the video and audio should be at the same speed...
I love how you explain things. I was wondering if you have suggestions on how to handle 12:48 team tracks and shipping docks. They have the potential to send and receive any kind of commodity. Anything special needs to be done? Also I did not understand the frequency of shipments you mentioned in JMRI. How do you reduce frequency or increase frequency? Thanks in advance
It's been a while since I have used JMRI, although I will be getting back into it soon, let me see if I can remember how to do this. For team tracks, I have a transload track that is similar, so I set a few commodities that I plan to ship and set the track up for all of the possible inbounds/outbounds (I usually just have 4-6 commodities). The track length will keep JMRI from having all the commodities come in at once and it usually has a decent rotation from my experience. For increasing the frequency of shipments, I don't quite remember how to do this, I recall that larger industries with more track space get more action where smaller customers with one spot get less, and I thought there was a way to prioritize specific tracks, but can't say for sure. I hope that helps a little!
Hello Eric. Would it be possible to make a playlist of these stock yard videos so we can watch all them in order from the beginning? This way we can loop them from oldest to newest. Just a thought. Thank you for sharing.
That's a great idea, I will plan to do this soon. And very sorry for the super late reply.
@@emillerz no problem. Looking forward to the playlist.
