Album: Version 2

First of all, the ugly guts of the system: The Car table in its raw form. This shows some pieces of data that users won't see, but that are necessary for the functioning of the reports and user interfaces seen below. Some examples are the TonsEmpty, TonsLoaded, and Length fields, which are used to provide prototype weight and length info on the reports, which in turn allow my crews and me to make prototype decisions on tonnage, siding capacity, etc. in prototype units of tons and feet.

For locomotives, TonsEmpty is the actual weight of the unit, while TonsLoaded is the locomotive's tonnage rating. The latter field is displayed in the Locomotive Management form, where it provides info for assigning power to specific trains.
