Keep in mind that in order for Timesaver to operate as designed you need room for 3 cars on your top two sidings and 2 cars each on your bottom three sidings. We built one for our modular club and ours finished out @12' long.

 

I'd recommend measuring your locomotive and cars (you'll need 5) to get your siding lengths right. Not saying you can't do it, just make sure you build it big enough so you can actually run it. A Porter and 5 Bobber Cabeese should work. RMT would also be a good source for short engines and cars.

 

Uncouplers on each siding (if you can slip them in) are invaluable when you're running Timesaver.
