Fastrack Plan for Lionel Train Table 86x58

Here is a variation, including the Granite Run Quarry and train set from the most recent catalog.   Position a loader and dump truck in the quarry for little folks to play with and load a gondola.

Perhaps a second train with lots of play value for little guys is the new US Army Train Set 1923100

Wow Ken, You are able to get so much in such a small area. Love your ability to design in the larger turnout. Amazing.

Excellent job, Ken.......you are amazing!

Great plan. I was just looking at that table on Lionel's website and started to look for plans that would fit it.

Thanks

Thanks for the comments gents!   This might make a nice layout to give to the kids or grandkids for this Christmas.

This includes a minor adjustment, stretching the spur adjacent to the station for greater length.   There is now 22+" clearance from the turnout points to the bumper on the lighted-bumper track section, enough length for a hopper (9.75") plus a switcher.  The docksider O-6-O is 9.75" long, and will work nicely for servicing the Morton Salt spur.

As an aside: Does anyone know what the table and legs are made of ?

Looks like it could be plastic or wood. 

I was looking at that table on Lionel's site and started looking for used instances on ebay, etsy, etc.  Nothing yet, even searching on the SKU.  Nine hundred ninety nine dollars for one?  My *TWO* home-made 4'x'8 tables cost me about $75 total in lumber, nails, brackets, etc.  Is this table so wonderful that nobody ever sells used ones?
