I think they been sucked up into a black hole. I've been keeping my eye out for an extention kit. Every once in a while a Transfer Table will pop up on eBay. You can save your favorite search and have automatic notification when one is listed.

Randy,
A keyword search at the Index of Magazines turned up 14 article citations:

in case you have to build one of your own.

Everyone, Thanks. I was able to order a transfer table and extensions from Boone Hobby. Also printed off the list of articles listed in the thread, and will get them from the local library's microfiche system. Thanks a million to all.

Should we tell him the Walthers transfer table is a POS that doesn't work right?

Just got the transfer table and an extension parcel post. Haven't unpacked them yet . What type of problems were you encountering, any fixes? Randy Staller

Boy that's pretty nifty, I've never seen one of those before. Can you use it to store locos as well, meaning instead of a roundhouse can one of these be built to store let's say 8-10 locos? Looks like it would take a minimum of space or it's a better use of space when constructing. Steve
