Hello everyone,
Relatively new to this forum. Thought I'd share some of my 5x9 FasTrack layouts. I'm casual CAD user and I created some of the more typical track/curves available and started messing around with different layouts. It sure helped me to create on paper, what I needed to connect on the table - as far as determining what size track, curve, etc. to use.
enjoy - feedback is welcome, thanks.

very nice. thank you for sharing
Thanks!!
Very nice Patric. Perfect timing too. My father was just telling me he wanted to build on a ping pong table. I'll share these with him.
cool - thanks.
those are some elaborate variations of ovals and figure 8's - will be posting other layouts in the future here.
enjoy your trains!
merry Christmas!
Nice series of layouts!
Wow. There's some very nice geometry going on in a small space. Well done. I was considering a ping pong table to get the trains off the floor and so older folks could enjoy them better. And, also for easy portability and storage. Roughly, how much does a ping pong table weigh? You've got me thinking about it again, OC Patrick.
Thanks for posting.

Hi Tomlinsonrunrr,
tables can weigh roughly from 50-100# depending on the material of the table itself. my brother and I had to load up our table from my parents house - it is made of particle board with wheels. today's tables are much lighter, but I wouldn't recommend placing a layout directly on a high-end table like Stiga or Kettler. our's is an old Porter - plus we don't play ping pong anymore.
Thanks!
Thanks for the estimates!
