Building A Train Table

Norm is about to build a train table and asks readers for suggestions:

“I am starting to build my new train table lay out I’m using 4′ x 8′ plywood sheets on a 2” x4” frame. I’m debating on how high the table should be. I am thinking 36”long legs & the overall thickness of the plywood / insulation board is 1 1/2 ”which would give me a table ht. of 37 1/2”. “

  • Herb Sr says:

    norm, table ht., is the builders choice, what works for you. I find around 40 inches to be great for me, the three layouts in my area are all around 40 inches, one is 46….The bending over factor played in our decisions, make a test or two with some material,stand back and check it out, again its your call…Herb Sr
