Ping Pong Tables Base For Model RR Layout

November 2, 2008

Matt has sent in this information about his growing HO layout:

I have four old plywood covered ping pong tables used for an HO scale layout running two lines. One is used for freight and the other used for passenger trains. It started with one table and then expanded to four.

An 8 foot custom made bridge was added to join two tables. This bridge has two levels with two tracks on each level. It is made with metal studs and flat bars for supports in the design of a truss bridge. Another custom made 4 foot long bridge is a real suspension brige using metal studs and thin cable wire. And, yet another custom 3 foot long bridge is made form milk crates and designed into a truss bridge.

The running hardware (already on-hand) will include steam & diesel dockside switchers, GG1’s, FE3’s, steam 2-10-2’s and various other engines. This project is coming along slowly as time, new crazy ideas, and funds permit.
