WRS History

This version of the WRS is made up modules that I displayed with the UMG. Instead of letting these modules collect dust in my basement, I chose to set them up to form a small switching layout.

The object is to allow me to develop a few things, before the larger version of the WRS is build. One of these things is switching operations. I plan to work with a couple different methods of card forwarding and train scheduling methods, to see which one I want to develop for the larger layout. Another is to spend more time working with the "Darkside" control system so I can better understand what it can do. Just using it only every three or four months, as I was doing, did not let you learn what it could do.

I am hoping to improve the scenery on the modules. There was things I would have liked to do to improve the modules, but they were taking too much of beating every time they left the basement. The same goes for the buildings, loco and rolling stock, which I am hoping also to make improvements to.

Time will tell how much of this plan happens.
