Here is a plan for a beginners first layout for the Lionel Train Table in the recent catalog.   The dimensions are 86x58, including a 3/4" border all around the table.

1904010-01_Lionel_Train_TableLTT_F_V1b

The outside oval is O48 with O60 turnouts making the cross-over pairs.   It has an O60 section leading each half-circle as an easement.

The inside oval is O36 with O48 turnouts making the industry spurs.  It also uses O60 turnouts and sections leading into each half-circle as an easement.

The layout includes the animated freight station, oil derrick with "nodding donkey", the milk can unloader, and the rotating beacon on the mountain, as animated accessories; plus Lionel's Work House with sound.

Thanks for the comments gents!   This might make a nice layout to give to the kids or grandkids for this Christmas.

This includes a minor adjustment, stretching the spur adjacent to the station for greater length.   There is now 22+" clearance from the turnout points to the bumper on the lighted-bumper track section, enough length for a hopper (9.75") plus a switcher.  The docksider O-6-O is 9.75" long, and will work nicely for servicing the Morton Salt spur.

I was looking at that table on Lionel's site and started looking for used instances on ebay, etsy, etc.  Nothing yet, even searching on the SKU.  Nine hundred ninety nine dollars for one?  My *TWO* home-made 4'x'8 tables cost me about $75 total in lumber, nails, brackets, etc.  Is this table so wonderful that nobody ever sells used ones?
