Wrapping up
          
        
        
          Types and styles of operating systems are quite varied, ranging
        
        
          from the simple to the very complex. Some people love using
        
        
          computers to assist them in doing some of the drudge work  in
        
        
          setting up an operations system while others avoid them at all
        
        
          costs. I doubt that a single perfect system will please everyone.
        
        
          The JMRI operations program works for me and I hope this
        
        
          article will encourage you to give it a try. While the program is
        
        
          offered free of charge, if you find yourself using it on a regular
        
        
          basis, please consider making a donation to the JMRI Project.
