 The cheapest "non prototypical" one would start from a lazy susan as the starting piont. In the last year someone here mentioned using a vinyl record turntable as a start. I have one  thats 95% done that I salvaged from  a 2 rail O scale layout,, not for sale.

I am wanting to build a turntable for my 3-rail 027 layout. Does anyone have diagrams or plans for a homemade turntable?   Saquili  Confused
