If you can find any in the USA, Fleischmann makes a nice turntable which works great and is fully automated. You probably have to kitbash another controlhouse on it, or rebuild it to control box, since these turntables are h0 scale.

Originally it has fencing, but I doubt that you'll leave it original..

ngm,

This is pretty much a toy train forum. You could look over in the Model Railroader Magazine section of this forum and get better assistance.

I will note that Bowser makes 0-Scale 30" (120' in 1/4 inch scale) turntables, but their proportions are better matched to "standard gauge" rail spacing than narrow gauge.

Good luck.

BTW - the Bowser turntables are nice kits, work well. We had one on our former club layout. Looked great.

Regards, Roy

I am working on an On30 layout, I'm planning to have a roundhouse, but I just can't find 1 good turntable that's at least 120 scale feet. Does any one have one?
