Yard Aid & Railvehicle Database System, better known as YARDS, is a rail-vehicle yard management system built to work with Run 8 Train Simulator V3. YARDS reads the world save file and parses it into much more usable data for the user. You can create your own class configurations and assign which cars are scheduled to a train.

YARDS can be used in any Singleplayer or Multiplayer Run 8 session and is designed to save the user time in planning and building trains in their session. YARDS does not modify your world save in any way, it only reads it to collect rail-vehicle data.

Although YARDS is considered a very advanced program as it can be used to track and move rail-vehicles through every process of the yard, it can also be used to simply query the totals of a train you plan on building before clicking on a single car.

Here’s some of the things YARDS can do

• Schedule Cars/Locomotives to a particular train
• Inbound/Outbound Trains
• On upload, automatically assign cars to the appropriate train based on your settings
• Ability to move cars from one track to another and order them however to your liking
• For yards that have a hump, there’s a Hump Assist that tells you what cars won’t fit in a bowl track
