The transfer table idea I think would be cool, although I'm not sure in scale O Gauge how much room that would take. The one prototype table I've seen (ex Cotton Belt - no longer in use) is rather large. Almost as large as the multi bay engine shop it serves. But, I'd go for it, if I could find a place on the layout. The size? I'd strictly be guessing, but it depends on how many tracks it'd serve and I think at least five tracks would be about right. If for 1st and 2nd generation diesels, 3 feet x 2 feet or something thereabouts??quote:I would like to see lionel do a transfer table with legacy and all or how about a turntable and round house.
I also agree new operating accessories are needed. A "pet idea" I've had for a while would be an operating grain elevator with a facility to lift or tilt a truck trailer to empty the grain (as it's really done), then a loading device for the hoppers, one after another. I would add some realistic sounds too for this operation. I'd also get permission of a major grain processor to use their logo - I'd kinda like Riceland myself.
I have never heard of this being done in O, although that doesn't mean it's not out there someplace...
