One aspect of model railroading I've always been interested in is operations. Every since reading Bruce Chubb's "How to OPERATE your model railroad" in high school, I've been fascinated with creating time tables and waybills for my model layouts. BD Kaiserslautern is no exception. Having several actual DB timetables has help me create a few for the layout. I've also gotten good ideas on operations from the FREMO site and more recently ideas from Werner Falkenbach's website on Schmalspurbahnen (especially the section Fahrbetrieb).
One advantage of creating paperwork and timetables is I don't have to be at the layout to work on trains! Working on timetables or train compositions during lunch makes a nice break from work.
Most of the work is still in progress and pretty rough at this point. But feel free to take a look at my most recent timetable and the Bahnhofsordnung for Enkenbach (they are in PDF form)
As always comments are welcome, so if you notice anything that can be done better (or more accurate) please let me know.
