Wow. I Haven't seen this before, and I thought I had seen all the Lionel paper. Very cool.
As for rules, my railroad only has two:
1 Dinosaurs must stay off the right of way.
2 Aliens cannot abduct train crews, and vice versa.

As an adjunct Rule, - Put in your Will or leave a note that when you die your wife is not to sell your stuff for what you told her you paid for it !
Tinplate Art posted:My wife and I recently aborted any future visits to an otherwise fine pizza restaurant here in Nashville because they had too many rules! Again, Outback's "No rules, just fun" is more appealing to us! Also, in the course of 25 years of both college and public school teaching, I learned that most rules require a measure of flexibility. REAL railroading, however, especially running 1:1 steam, DOES require strict adherence to safety rules with little "wiggle" room!
How can a pizza place manage to foul up their business with too many rules? Rules like what?

1. Two topping, max.
2. No extra cheese
3. Only cut in quarters - no eighth's
4. No delivery insurance - you buy it, you own it !
5. Napkins, salt, pepper - extra charge.
6. One pizza - one beer.
SCALE RAIL: Interesting paper, but did you mean to post on this forum about a rr rules book?

Wow... I see what Art meant, now.
Those seem to be great business strategies for running your customers off!

So, then all of what you said is BS?
Sorry for asking.

Bogie
Bogie,
The train was not a battering ram, it was part of the construction/work train exercising it’s right of eminent domain!! The Lincoln log forts were in the way of the railroad’s expansion. 😎
seeing that people are posting their own rules i'd figure I'd post mine for my future pike which will hopefully open soon
ok here goes nuthin
1 each freight train must carry two extra units of power. you're gonna need it on the 5 percent corkscrew of Allegheny Divide.
2 Large or engines of excess length must remain on the outer yard so they don't get stuck on too small a curve
3 if you have 10 trains combine them into 5 if you can (don't force it if it can't fit into a siding)
cough UP cough https://youtu.be/ey7_7Pq26FE
watch the WHOLE VIDEO
4 Railfans ARE ALLOWED on PHXT property as long as they stay in designated areas
5 don't be cocky and shove something like an Allegheny through the steam clean shop (although i really wanna try this for craps and giggles though i'll probably regret it)
6 for questions or concerns please consider www.phxtranscor.com (DO NOT try this link i have not built the site yet SERIOUSLY THOUGH)
All the grousing about rules misses the point that child's play very often is an imitation of adult work. Many kids would have wanted to "play railroad" with their trains. That is what the book is about (I have one). It is thin for a practical guide, but a good jumping-off point for the imagination. Creative children are forever structuring their play; those of us who are grown weary of adulthood and its rules, and want to cast them all off, were never the target audience for this little pamphlet.

No - I think he confirmed that most of what I jokingly put down was actually pretty close, plus "one door in and one door out", etc.
Well when the Kibitzers visit, I tell them there is only 1 (one) rule:
It is my Railroad and if you don't like it, the door is at the top of the stairs to the right.
Corollary: To answer your question, refer to rule #1
SORRY about the pizza diversion to this thread. Our new place is completely flexible with slices and toppings, and boosts a shady outdoor patio, and super friendly staff. They hand-toss the dough, and the prices are reasonable. Finally a no-rules pizza parlor!
When I was in the train business, I would tell my customers to come early, stay long and buy a lot.
