<p>I'm a newbie so here's a newbie situation and question-</p><p>Situation- </p><p>3 years ago got a HO train kit for a gift from Dad, hadn't had one in 20 years when we built a simple layout on a 4x8 sheet of ply. Problem is I haven't got the basement finished yet. So I have nowhere to build a permanent table. So in the meantime LOML and I have come up with the following- </p><p>build a table to place under a Christmas tree that we set up in the kitchen, I know, I know not exactly high end model railroading but it's the best I can do right now. </p><p>I've got room for a 85" x 46" layout (it sets in a bay window), the max height on table is 6", and it has to be portable so I can put it out of the way after holidays (probably May<span class="smiley">), when I start to finish basement.</span></p><p>Questions-</p><p>What is the best way to construct such a low table? I was thinking some kind of torsion box, I've built a large one for a woodworking bench, it would be rigid but light.</p><p>What are some good books to pick up to get me back in this hobby?</p><p>Any mags worth subscribing to? </p>
