Dispatcher's desk

While the layout is located on the second story, the Dispatcher's desk is downstairs in the shop area.

While still under construction, the Dispatcher has a "stop order" board that displays stop signals at 12 different station on the layout.  Each of these stations also has a phone connected to the Dispatcher so they call call in for train orders etc.

The Dispatcher will also be able to control the ball signals at Farmington, Strong and Phillips to control right of way into these towns.

The fast clock will be under the Dispatcher's control using a phone based app.

Each of these 12 stations has a station desk.  The plan is to build a writing surface that can pull in and out for crew do handle paperwork.
