Looks like Minitirx has re-released this long-unavailable item.  DM-Toys has it in stock. It will probably show up state-wise too.

It was included in the 2016 catalog of new products (page 42): http://www.nscaledivision.com/minitrix_2016_new_items_brochure.pdf
This dealer also took pre-orders for it: http://www.nscaledivision.com/minitrix_2016.htm
This US dealer appears to have it available now: https://www.reynaulds.com/products/Trix/66540.aspx
Walthers may eventually get it, as well: https://www.walthers.com/transfer-table

Thanks for the additional info. Having an item announced  in a catalog of European companies and actually have the item shipped to dealers are two different things (often delayed by months or years).  Reynauld's website is full of items which aren't really in stock.  I've got bitten many times by their website which does not show real-time inventory. N Scale Division and Walthers just took reservations.

DM-Toys' site shows real-time inventory and they have the transfer table in stock. I just wanted to let TRW members know that the transfer table has actually been produced and is actually in stock at DM-Toys.  That's all.

I have one of these. Still works with the original motor. Haven't ever installed it. It is pretty neat when operating.
At the price of the new one, I would sell mine for half! :D

Always thought they were cool.

Had one of these on my first N scale layout circa 1989.  Was a mechanical horse, worked perfectly for a dozen years, if noisy in operation.  Gave it to another modeler, presume it is still working today.

Will say the tracks don't line up with the Walthers car shop stalls.  Had to cut out the plastic brick pillars and install styrene concrete squares where needed.  Could model them as wood, too.
