For years (since 1996 or so) Ive been making up my own versions of Amtrak schedules which are much more condensed then the actual ones for operation on my HO scale layout, so I can imagine that the train does its entire routing (of course I always ran the Lake Shore Limited most often).
I used to run on a single standard, 5 minutes between each stop on my layout. But since my layout grew much greater in size and I have matured, I wanna run things a bit longer and with longer/shorter times corresponding with the distance between each stop as well as the model speeds between the stops. I have added quite a bit of time to my schedules over the last few years, but they are still quite inconsisant with the different routes. I was wondering if anyone has any methods or ideas on scheduling model Amtrak trains.
