The Timesaver shunting puzzle is a classic model railway switching (shunting) game designed by John Allen in the 1960s. It is a compact and engaging way to practice realistic railway operations, requiring efficient use of track space and strategic thinking.
The Timesaver consists of a small, purpose-designed track layout with multiple sidings and a run-around loop. The goal is to rearrange wagons from one location to another using a minimum number of moves while following realistic railway operations.
The Timesaver is often compared to the Inglenook Sidings puzzle, which is another popular shunting challenge but with a different track arrangement and gameplay style.
