In response to Stan's questions, Yes, there is often a slight alignment adjustment necessary, but this is minimized by releasing the button on the faster table controller for a second or two to allow the slower table to catch up during the move from track to track. The metal strip under the tables helps a lot to keep them in alignment. I am working on a design for a replacement for the 24 track pins at the table ends of the stub tracks to provide the necessary support for pickup rollers and wheel flanges without interfering with table components when the table is moving. The notion of a "snap into place system" is probably not doable because the motor system is probable not powerful enough to break free to move to the next stub track, especially when moving a heavy steam engine and tender.
