QUOTE: Originally posted by cnw1995 Mine is even simpler. I bought a plastic lazy susan at a local discounter. On it, I placed a single piece of K-Line track that has an attached lock-on. The track overhangs slightly the rim of the lazy-susan. I attached wires to the lockon leaving plenty of extra wire and clearance for me to spin it around half-way. Voila. It spins only short engines and trolleys. I line up the turntable. The trolley goes on. I stop it. Spin it by hand, lining it up. Start the power and the trolley trundles off.
