For completeness, the instructions again:
L = locomotive, starts at D
G = goods, starts at B
Co = container, starts at C
1) Move L back toward the viewer.
2) Drive L forward (left at bottom switch) and hook to G.
3) Bring G-L back to the viewer again to pass the bottom switch.
4) Drive G-L forward (right at bottom switch) and leave G somewhere along rail D.
5) While on rail D, push Co into the bumper slot A.
6) Drive L (nakedly) through C, onto D, and then reverse to drive toward the viewer, switching appropriately.
7) With L on the viewer's rail, drive forward and hook to Co.
8) Move Co-L backward toward the viewer.
9) Move Co-L forward, taking a right through the bottom switch, and colliding Co with G.
*) At this stage, rail D should have the configuration L-Co-G.
10) Pull everything back toward the viewer.
*) Now, the viewer's rail should have the configuration L-Co-G (bottom to top).
11) Push the train upward, taking a left at the bottom switch.
12) Going all the way up/left, we now have G parked in bumper slot A, and Co parked at B (never to move again).
13) Unhook all cars from one another, and drive L back to the viewer.
14) Drive L forward and take a right at the first switch. This puts L on rail D.
15) Back up past C to hook to G, and drag G forward a little to park it.
16) Unhook from G and we're done. L can move freely along D and the incoming arc.
Note: this list can be made shorter but I was shooting for nine moments when the actual switches are operated going upstream, a tangent we haven't even touched yet.
I followed the steps above, and ended up with the two transposed, as required.
Well done Leonidas... Long live the King!
Of all the places on Earth, and all the planets in the Universe, I'd rather live here (Perth, W.A.)
