Wow, isn't that great? Good for you.

86x58.  1x4 frame covered by 1/2 plywood skirted by 1x6 to keep things on the table hopefully   I glued and screwed everything together and added metal L brackets to all 1x4 butt joints.  The gluing seems to have cut down on the sound a bit, keeps the plywood from resonating

The attached SCARM (file is PDF) layout also details my table top.  The under side is a couple of fancy adjustable saw horses with laminated 1x4's running lengthwise.  Will try and get a couple of photo's later.  I am going to be running two trains and will be adding blocks etc. in the next drawing update

Continuing saga of the Lionel Train table homemade layout.  I cheaped out and bought two pair of 0-60 remote switches and of course ran into a small electrical problem with on the switches and was wondering if anyone else has seen this.  Center rail did not have conductivity end to end between all three points.  I took the bottom off and checked the wiring as recommended in a post, no luck.  

Turned out to be some melted plastic under on of the tabs/buss plates for the big center rail.  A bit of scraping and solder and all it well, works great now.  Is this a known problem with fastrack?
