Lance has really brought prototype operations and layout design to a new level and clearly demonstrated that simple can be better.
------------------------------------
Ed,I think Lance may have finally put the "Time Saver" where it belong for years-the trash can.John Allen designed that thing for a switching contest for a NMRA meet.I don't think John meant for that design to take on a life form of its own.
Of course there are those that mentions the "Time Saver" or the "Inglenook" switching puzzle design every time a ISL design topic comes up on other forums.
My guess is they don't understand what a true switching layout is.
At any rate I'm glad to see modelers that's interested in prototype switching layouts turning to Lance's ISL design lessons and turning to Google and Bing maps for design ideas.
