Indeed. We always have multiple bridges connecting tables at all PNLTC shows.
Another, similar idea is to build a table lower than the adjacent table,
creating an opportunity for a rampless bridge.
Any good model railroading book will confirm that this is preferred to trying
to fiddle with inclines, which in scale modeling have a tendency to cause
derailments unless very carefully aligned. And the prototypes avoid ramps even
more than model railroaders.
Good call, Duq.
