Online Switching Puzzle!

[verheyen]

When we debuted our switching puzzle at a recent European Train Enthusiasts (ETE) meeting, it was hilarious to watch. Ferroequinologists had the hardest time with the basic puzzle concepts - how do I create a train "x" out of the cars available... Operation was easier. Non ferroequinologists did much better on the concepts, but had to get a sense for operating the trains.

We have our public puzzle debute at the Finger Lakes Rail Fair in Ithaca, April 23-24. It'll be fun to see how it goes there.

You can see pictures of the puzzle at http://www.philobiblon.com/eisenbahn/puzzle.shtml. We also wrote an article for an upcoming issue of their newsletter which is online at http://www.philobiblon.com/eisenbahn/puzzle_article.shtml. That also features links to other puzzle games and is still being added to.
