Hello. I want to program the popular timesaver puzzle. But first I need to know how it works? Can anyone give a good explanation?
I found some websites about it, but they are aimed at railroader types . . . which I am not!
Thanks.
Well I don't know about a "good" explanation, but here goes:
Basiaclly the time saver is a series of switches and track that force the operator to shuffle cars from one industry to another by accomplishing different manouvers. Mostly it involves coupling and uncoupling to run around the car and push or pull it to another track facing the opposite direction.
Exactly what the real RR's try to avoid.
