I am hoping to finally move my Lego Trains on to a proper table so that the
kids and I can actually enjoy them, instead of just admiring them (if you
know what I mean). I currently have a 4 x 8 plywood set up on some saw
horses and its just not cutting it. I am hoping to increase the size of the
table and make it a bit more permanent but still able to move inside (its in
the garage) for the holidays. If anyone has some suggestions or better yet,
experience please let me know. Cheers.

Rather than the custom-built-wooden-tables route, we
(TCLTC) took the folding table
route, specifically
THESE from Costco
(They are cheaper to purchase at the store itself). The nice thing about this
table is that it can adjust up to 36” high, which is a great working/viewing
height for adults. Further, it allows either 10 large baseplates (almost:
1.5” hangover on the ends), or 18 32x32 baseplates exactly. Of course, the
advantage of a folding table is obvious; it can also be used for any other
household duty as well. Plus, it’s simple, and expandable.
That would be my recommendation. Good luck to you, Damon!

I think John raises a good point. I have a number of tables that match the wood
tables my club built (they were built at the same time as the first batch) and
they’re sturdy and reconfigurable, but the folding tables are very attractive.
They go up at shows a lot faster, for one thing, and they’re a lot lighter.
We have 2 of those tables and are likely to get more.
