MC4-4JMRI
Manifest Creator - Old Time Switch Lists (These are created from CSVs meant for Manifests!)
Switch Lists, Train Lists, Train Orders, Location Lists Creators (last Updated: 09/20/19)
MC4-4JMRI (Previously known as SLC4JMRI)
MC4-4JMRI was developed with great insight and input from Inspector Dave (Waxara). It creates Train Lists, Switch Lists, and Train Orders from JMRI "train".csv files (JMRI Manifests). A "sister" program, Location Lists (LLC4-4JMRI), will produce Location Lists from JMRI "location".csv files (JMRI Switch Lists) for each Location that has work to perform during a session. See additional information below.
REMEMBER THIS APPLICATION USES WHAT JMRI CALLS MANIFEST OR (train ... .csv Files)
- A Train List is the initial list of Cars when a Train begins it's Route. By definition these Cars will all be Pickups.
- A Switch List is a list of Cars at each given Location that has activity on the Route of this Train. It shows both Pickups and Setouts as well as local Moves. It provides a separate document for each Location. These documents can then be stacked with the Train List so that the engineers have a clear understanding of the work to be accomplished. When arriving at the Location, they have track by track information for Pickups, Setouts, and local Moves. If the Location has a crew that can move the Cars, Location Lists may be generated so that each Location will have information on what work it is expected to perform for the session. DO NOT CONFUSE THIS WITH JMRI SWITCH LISTS - THEY ARE NOT THE SAME!
- A Train Order is a list of actions that the Road Crew must perform to complete their trip. This includes Comments, Locos to use, Consist # for DCC Throttle assignment, if a Location has work to perform or not, and other "special" instructions needed by the Road Crew rather than the Local Crew. This document is placed on the top of the other documents so that the Road Crew has instructions from the beginning to the end of their Route.
- A Location List is ta new format for the JMRI Switch Lists with the added functionality of Switch List Creator. THIS IS THE SISTER APPLICATION FOR MC4-4JMRI USED TO CREATE WHAT JMRI CALLS SWITCH LISTS.
The formats for these lists have been removed from the application and come as "MASTER" forms for each of the lists produced. These may be downloaded below.
To create "Switch Lists" formated Manifests you need to place the following files in your JMRI/operations/csvManifests folder:
1. MC4-4JMRI.xlsm or .xls depending on your version of Excel - This is the main application - produces what we call Switch Lists (JMRI Manifests)
2. MASTER_SL.xls - Switch List format
3. MASTER_TL.xls - Train List format
4. MASTER_TO.xls - Train Orders format
Current Version is 1.3a as of 09/20/19
All MOVEs are now Italic Red font in the Pickup fields.
Previous Version is 1.2 as of 03/04/18

WARNING: It appears that some browsers or operating systems are converting the .xlsm extension to xlsx. The MC contains macro code and at times folks use this to infiltrate your system. If you have issues and see that the extension has been changed to .xlsx, you will need to 'rename" the file and change the extension from .xlsx to .xlsm. If this does occur, I would like to know what browser and operating system you used when downloading the file. NOTE: .xls versions are not affected.
