My old layout " Bayland" unfortunately is now scrap. The room was needed, so it had to go.
Bayland is now in memories and in photographs;
There was a lot of left overs from Bayland so I decided to put them in good use by constructing a small layout, but I also wanted to do a lot of shunting in less space. John Allens famous "Timesaver" layout came to my mind and decided to do it.
Timesaver, is basically a shunting puzzle with strict rules. More;

.....and try to solve this;

The plan basically looks like this:
It is 2 meters x 35 cms in length.Its not the same but a clone of timesaver, my version of it.
Started of by laying the tracks,first the turnouts;
then the flexi rails;
The point motors and track bus;
rails painted and constructed a mini control panel;
I then added bits and pieces that I salvaged from Bayland;
Did not forget the electrification too
added 2 fold up legs so that I can carry it any where I want, even to friends, where we can play a game of time saver;
I am currently at the stage of ballasting.
