John Allen Timesaver Switching Game Layout Build
Posted by KEN MASON on Sunday, July 12, 2015 6:45 PM
Anyone with some tips on building a John Allen Timesaver layout? I'm starting to layout the switches and track work and would appreciate any tips and advice.
Thanks!

J built mine with Atlas Snap-Track following an article in the Oct. 76 MR. My only suggestion would be to have truck-mounted couplers to make operations more reliable.
