Whether you model a modern railroad or a turn-of-the-century steam railroad, SwitchList can display realistic paperwork and switchlists to help your crews place those boxcars where they belong. SwitchList comes with four switchlist styles by default, and with a little bit of web page knowledge, you can create your own.
Here’s the four built-in switchlist styles. (Click on each to see a full-sized switchlist in that style.)

“Handwritten” style

Our original style, designed for easy reading in dark garages.

(See Bill Kaufman’s article on the Belt Line in the July 2009 Railroad Model Craftsman for details on this style of switchlist.)


Railroad Letterhead


Typed up each morning by the company manager (a two-finger typist) on a sheet of the company letterhead, this style captures the switching focus of many modern short lines.

Custom Switch List Example: Thomas


You can also design your own switch list style; here’s a Thomas the Tank Engine theme to show youstyle switchlist, intended as a demonstration of how you can customize your own switch list style.


Custom Switch List Example: Waybills

Prefer the look of car cards, but don’t want the hassle of creating all those cards? Design a switchlist style that lets you shuffle waybills on your phone! (With this example, swipe or drag with the mouse to switch cards.)
