I do not have space for a roundhouse; was wondering if a transfer table could be a worthy option... Have any of you made one; the lionel model is not as appealing to me...

I had a very good fried of mine scratch build one for me and currently expanding the layout to incorporate it and a Millhouse 36 inch turn table.
MillHouse River Studios is working on one and should have a prototype at York

I believe a forum member has constructed one and had it featured in CTT about a year or two ago. I think he used a cordless screwdriver motor to drive it.
Perhaps someone else remembers a little more detail on this.
Ys it was an article from forum member David from Dearborn MI.
Here is my scratch built Transfer Table. It is quite easy to build and I used an inexpensive electric screwdriver coupled to a threaded rod to power the table. The October 2009 issue of Classic Toy Trains Magazine has detailed instructions on how I built it. A back issue is available here:

I was also considering building my own and now will.Very cool thanks for posting the vidio.
