Sounds Good Andrew...But there is a bad mis-alignment near Divide (MP 121.6) that I think we need to put a 10 MPH slow order on, otherwise somebody is gonna either derail or lose part of their train.Jake Mensel

Did I read that correctly, that you have to get your orders and dispatch off a website? How, when your running a train on MSTS? Please explain further......

Nevermind, I read your post again, and see where you have to have a scanner it looks like. I don't have one, so I guess I won't be playing along Saturday.

Not at all! No scanner necessary, old boy. Roger Wilco is a program that you download that provides realtime voice communication over the internet. You fire it up, connect to a remote server (usually another person) and use a microphone to talk to him and anyone else who joins the server. It runs in the background, kinda like an instant message client.
