I have uploaded an updated copy of my RailOp clinic titled “Beginning RailOp” and it is available here in as a Microsoft Word document.
Please feel free to use all or part of this document in your own clinic as I have licensed it under the Creative Commons Attribution license. The only thing I ask is that you mention my name as a contributor. Also, if you make any additions, please send me a copy for my own future use, and I will attribute your contribution in turn.
What is not obvious from the handout is that when I give the clinic, the only thing I display with the projector is the actual RailOp program running with data from an example layout based on Allen McClelland’s plan in the 1996 Model Railroad Planning magazine titled “The Virginian & Ohio’s Muddlety Creek branch.”
I chose this track plan because it is what I consider to be a typical small to medium sized bedroom track plan within the realm of possibility of almost any Model Railroader. The plan has several things necessary for a good operating railroad: staging and classification yards, several industries and an branch line.
