Building a traverser / transfer table

[ngauger]

In G - you don't have to an nearly accurate as you are going to have to build this. I like the rotary switch idea )above)

Yes - still manually operated - actually - it's an inspection pit now... But the traverse can still be moves side to side to access cars.

one more thing.. make sure to build this long enough to store all the cars 'on each track" that you'll need. For instance if you know you have 2 or 3 long cars, be sure to make the traverse table long enough for them to rest on..

decide on the amount of storage you'll need - before you decide on the 12" length...

....and yeah, my cars were rolling all the time, especially when someone 'bumped" the layout.. i had to buy "rail chocks". In the photo above, that's what that orange rail bumper is for, to stop the trolly from rolling onto the main..
