It's only 5x9. I started with a 4x8, added a foot to one side and a foot to one end. The extra two pieces are attached with simple carriage bolts so that I can take 'em off, then remove the legs and turn the table on its side, to move it thru the doorway and get it out of the room.
wow,it looks bigger than 5x9 from the video! i started with a 4x8 and made mine 5x12 to fit a O54 oval with a O42 inside oval. 12 plastic saw horses are supporting my table.
You're probably right. When I was doing this, I never really intended for anyone else to be watching, nor caring enough to want to identify the individual cars.
Very nice video my dear friend...I remember when I was a little girl and my father was playing on the floor with his trains ! I was not allowed to touch, only to look at. ;)
Muchas Gracias~

I wish I had the money, time & room to make it bigger, but I don't. Having the extra 3 feet you have would be nice.

You know, no matter how much room any of us have... it's NEVER enough! I only wish I had the money and the room to make mine BIGGER, as well! ;-)

Thank the Lord I don't have to "play on the floor", like your papa, or like I did when I was a little kid. I could never get back up again!
