Latest tinplate layout.

wmtrainnut09wmtrainnut09OGR Forum Member

The first tinplate table I built in the new train room was a 4x8 table.  This was 1/2 inch plywood topped with sound deadining board and painted.  About a year ago, I was looking at some of the extra floor space in front of this table and thought about expanding the table.  This past February I tore down the 4x8 table and built a L-shaped table.  This new table added 20 more square feet to run both a loop of O-guage and standard guage and a little more room for accessories.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. 

 

To answer Sunrise's question, the carpet is just held in place by the screwed down track and the molding on the front edge of the table.  It is high traffic carpet I purchased at Lowes.  It lays flat and has yet to curl up anywhere.

 

Jeff Davis, the dimensions are 4x8 across the back with a 4X5 extension on the right front side, for a total of 52 square feet.

 

Jeff (pennsy484), there is another layout in the room.  It is a high rail layout and was featured in OGR run 258 titled A 3-Rail Tribute to Wild Mary.
