Hi Davin: Your layout is awesome and I enjoy all your videos. I watched the very nice operating session video that your friend, Green Bay & Western, just posted. Can you tell me what brand and model of radio/headset/microphone you use? I really like what I saw in the video and am interested in acquiring the same radio set-up for my layout. Thank you! Mike
What program do you use for your sting chart? I would like to see how you set that up at some point. If you do show it later in the video, Sorry for the premature comment :) Thanks.
Enjoy the videos. I'm planning a layout from Slaton to Clovis in the late sixties and early seventies. We're the Galveston bound Sulfur trains still running in the 90's?
Power Point or any program you can use to draw lines (different lengths, colors,, angles or slopes, copy lines lengthen or shorten, rotate, etc) is a straight forward program. Text boxes, notes, and things like arrows and thought balloons are easy to create and move around to explain what you are doing. The big railroads used the techniques to plan their complex passenger and freight train operation from early on using pen and (lots) of paper.
Inspirational as always. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you Joel, your feedback is always appreciated!

Hi Mike, thank you.
The headsets are the old Radio Shack 5 channel FM Transmitters. Model No. TRC-507.
Nice setup

That is awesome. They were so!
Great stuff!
Thank you!
Can you please show us how you created your string diagram? Please advise what software you use. I look forward to future videos.

Very nice
Thank you!
Really enjoying your operating sessions what throttle do you use to operate?
I got in early, so it was MRC. Still simple to use and does the trick.
