    Swap Coaches

    This is a railroad laid in the form of a triangle. There is an extension upto 15ft on the left side and 10 ft on the right. The bottom rail is endless. The Engine (E) is 15ft long and the 2 coaches (A & B) are each of 10ft.
    Now we need to bring coach A to the position of coach B and vice versa and the engine back to its original position.

    If I understand the question.......
    E moves to the left and down Siding L Attaching A to the front and "pushing it down the bottom section.
    E then moves up the Right Siding R (with A in tow optionaly) and attaches B to the other end, moving back down the Bottom Path, so YUou have in the bottom section:

    B
    E
    A

    E then pushes B up LHS and de-couples, returning to the centre section
    E tows A up RHS, de couples and follows out throught the top.....

    I assume, though, that I have somewhere violated the directions/corners that the train can make?
