The Crossing Gate Podcast

The Crossing Gate. Model railroad discussion.

Discussion of model railroading and operations.

In this episode, we discuss Car Cards and Waybills. Not a new subject, but we talk about the portion that no one wants to explain. How does a modeler start to use a waybill on an existing layout if they have never set up waybills before?

Heath Hurwitz from Human[c]ity Junction and Joe Binsh walk us thru the steps needed to fill out your first waybills. We start with the Micro-Mark set and grab our pencils to begin our journey in moving freight with a purpose on our layout.

Who is the consignee? What is a route? And what does VIA mean? Why are there two sides and four sections?

Joe and Heath start the processes as Heath adds operations to his Riverside Transfer N scale layout.

Crew members are Joe Binish and Heath Hurwitz, hosted by Thomas Gasior MMR.

Our sponsor is the three-hour-long YouTube videos everyone loves. Plus, the usual outtakes and insults.
