After seeing Yankinoz's (Rob) Soo timetable and operating rule book I was wondering does anybody know where I could buy one for Union Pacific???

It would be great for operating my own layout and learning some of the rules.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

A search on eBay (USA) for Union Pacific Timetable came up with 30 different hits from different eras and locations. I didn't find any in the sites for eBay down under. Maybe you can find an American vendor that will ship overseas. Here's the auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1139087556) that goes with that photo.

Ed,
thanks for looking did you find an operating or rules book as well?

It's usually included in the same book. I've got a Metrolink (Southern California Regional Rail Authority) employee timetable that has all of the rules in it. The key, I think, is to get one that says employee timetable.

Thanks Ed,
I have emailed the seller to see if it has the operating rules. I may just bid for this if it does :D

The guy I got mine from (Scott Given) has several listed at his National Association Of Timetable Collectors page.

You probably have access to NSW employee timetables - maybe you could interest Scott in a trade? Anyway I had a good experience buying from him.
