Timesaver "Pocket" RouteName of Route: TimesaverVersion and Release Date: Version 1, April 15, 2002Description: I call it a "Pocket route" because it fits on one tile. Based on John Allen's classic switching layout, this route was made entirely from default objects. The installation download is less than 60k. Despite its small size, the route is lots of fun for switching fans.

Installation of the Microsoft patch (http://www.microsoft.com/games/trainsim/tech.asp) is recommended if this is a problem. Also, modified ENG and Wag files for default equipment used in activities are included with the route in order to reduce derailment problems from the patchWhere it can be downloaded: http://www.railwaystation.com/trainsim/routes.html#timesaverTimesaver Route developed by:Ron Paludan
