Model Operations Processing System

First, the rebuilding.  The Railroad and Parameters modules have been rebuilt, and work continues on the User module.  After that, there are a further three modules to be rebuilt before a further volume test takes place; but irrespective of the results of that test (providing the test is not an absolute failure) work will continue with SQLite.  The reasoning behind this is that if higher transaction volumes are required, then making a version of MOPS available with MySQL in the future wouldn’t be too big a step change.

On building: I’ve been using Scalescenes downloads and the Model Builder software to create card-based structures in N gauge.  I like both products and I’ve added links to the web sites on this page.  It generally takes three versions to get a scratchbuilt structure looking generally right, but the process is fun.
