Ship IT! Car Cards
Home Ship It! Ship It! Scheduler Railbase Professional Other Software
Ship It! Car Cards can help you in producing car cards,
waybills, Form 19's, Form 31's, and switchlists for your model railroad. Without getting into the complexity of
computer-generated traffic, Ship It! Car Cards enables you to utilize your
computer and printer to produce some of the nicest-looking railroad paperwork
around. The switchlists and Form
19's are based on prototypical samples from a variety of railroads. Ship It! Car Cards gives you the ability
to change fonts, add graphical logos, print in color, and design operations the
way you want, all at a low cost.
- Make
Your Layout Come Alive With Ship It! Car Cards - What industries, interchanges, and yards (yes, yards
can ship and receive goods on a model railroad) on your model railroad
ship and receive goods? What products do they ship? What trains are
scheduled, and what towns do they stop at? These are just some of the
questions you'll be answering as you fill out the database in Ship It! Car
Cards.
- Easy
To Set Up - This is not computer-generated car movement (like Ship It!)
You build your car movement by filling out waybills for each car in an
easy to use format. Once there, the car moves can be used to build
switchlists (and even block the switchlists, if you have entered train
schedules.) You can also build prototypical-looking train orders to tell your crews
when and where to meet other trains and to issue speed restrictions and
other items.
- Runs
Stand-Alone or with Ship It! and Railbase - Ship It! Car Cards can run by
itself or in conjunction with Railbase Professional and Ship It! These
three programs form the base of our model railroad software
"Suite". These programs all share the same database. For
example, your rolling stock database is visible (and is used by) all three
programs. Ship It! uses it to generate car movement. Ship It! Car Cards
can automatically generate a car card for every car in the rolling stock
database. Railbase Professional lets you track value, perform inspections,
and track modeling standards for all of your cars.
- Output
Ship It! Generated Car Movement to your Waybills and Switchlists - If you
own Ship It!, you can output your car moves to the waybills and
switchlists in Ship It! Car Cards. All you need to do is toggle a checkbox
in the options window in Ship It! to make this happen. Then, whenever you
generate a session, building waybills and switchlists (in the new format)
will be automatically generated. The new switchlists can be blocked by
simply pressing a button.
Features:
- Car cards and waybills in two different formats - 2" x 4" vertical and 3"x 5" horizontal
- Customize Your Car Cards and Waybills!
- Use Graphical Logos for a Professional Look
- Switchlists - There are three ways to build switchlists. You can build them from scratch and populate them from your waybills. If you own Ship It!, you can output computer-generated traffic to the switchlists. Once there, all switchlist data can be edited.
- Blocking
- Switchlists can be blocked automatically for delivery to towns along a
trains schedule. When a train
is blocked, it is re-ordered so that the cars will be in the best order
for delivery in towns along the trains schedule.
Printing
- The
2" x 4" car cards have a waybill with four positions. The
3" x 5" car cards have either a two position waybill or a four
position waybill. It's your choice!
