Model Railroad train table made from 8020 extruded aluminum

[Tmate]

I built my 16' x 22' Lionel train table from 2" x 2" aluminum extrusions manufactured by 8020. I was concerned that all the aluminum would interfere with the wireless signals being sent to the engines, etc., but there ended up being no problem at all. The framework bolts together with right angle brackets as pictured. The legs have height adjustable leveling feet.

Very nice, looks like an excellent set up.
What gauge?
I would add some cross bracing if it were mine to prevent my clumsiness from kicking a leg out of place but thats me, I tend to over engineer everything I build.

Unfortunately, in order to maintain the wiring, etc., I need to be able to scoot around between the table legs. I have bumped into the legs many times with the stool/dolly, and it is amazingly sturdy.

O gauge Lionel.

WOW, I had a small "N" gauge set but never finished the scenery and eventually gave it away to a deserving recipient.
