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.

I read your post and was trying to figure out how your tables were connected to
the other club tables at NMRA (2006), but I realized after checking the photos
from the event, your tables were part of the stand-alone display. Buying the
COSTCO tables are a quick and easy fix, but lack the ability to adjust and plan
for expansion. I purchased some of the tables for a church project, and they
are great folding tables. I noted that you indicated that you actually have an
overhang with the base plates when set up. Our custom tables do not have that
problem. Plus, if there is a difference in height of less than an inch, how do
you make an adjustment between the tables? With the club tables, the solution
is as simple as adjusting the screw on the base of the table leg. Our tables
can be individually adjusted and create less of a problem with the train track
as a result. We can also adjust the height of the tables to make a lower sea,
water area, or mountain area.
