Train Orders, Saw Mills and Swamps

Train Orders, saw mills and swamps is what I have been working on most of this week.

During the last session the dispatcher pointed out that the information in the autotext fields did not match the information in the first TO line.  Back when I reassigned engines I forgot to make the changes to the autotext fields.  So I decided to add some intelligence to the Train Order system.  Now the autotext will adjust itself based on the information entered in the first two TO lines.  This will also make it easier to use the Train Order system when the dispatcher needs to change the default engine assignment.  Now when this is done the autotext will adjust to the new engine assignment automatically.

The next focus of my attention was starting on the construction of the Easton Lumber Company saw mill at Lacey Springs.  The beginning of this effort was the construction of the steam engine, saw and carriage assemblies which are pictured below.



My final focus for the week was to finish the Dry Fork trestle area swamp.  Which I did!  If you want to see the final effort go to www.easton-and-potomac.com.
