Couplin’ up in Costa Mesa

We’re at the Great Train Show in Costa Mesa, California, with our old-but-somewhat-reliable Timesaver layout. In a building full of “Please Do Not Touch” signs, we’re giving show-goers a chance to get hands on and try their hand at the Timesaver (or just donk around with the locomotive).

Yesterday, half a dozen people were able to solve the Timesaver (a new record!) so we’ve made it a little tougher today with a slightly longer tank car that makes it impossible to get the loco and two cars on a spur. No solutions yet… but the day is still young! (UPDATE: Two people — well, technically, one person and one family — solved the Timesaver, not counting PMRRC member Aaron Gold.)

If you’re coming to the Costa Mesa show, be sure to stop by and say hello. Look for us (and our Timesaver) at more Southern California train shows this year.
