This topic was covered on March 25th under Timesaver Switching Layout. Go to this site http://www.wymann.info/ShuntingPuzzles/sw-timesaver.html it will show the trackplan as well as the rules for using it.

Is this what you were looking for?

Here is a schematic of the plan:



It comes from this page:

http://www.carendt.us/scrapbook/page4/

which has some other switching puzzle/small layout plans.

One will note that the "Switchman's Nightmare" (by Linn Westcott) is not the same as the Timesaver.
