I built a turntable from plans in Garden Railways Magazine. I modified the plans to 1:20.3 scale. It is 28" long, but I should have made it 30". My Bachmann consolidation will just fit, with the pilot and tender back hanging over. The table deck is 6" wide, so it is a tight fit. The table and base was a fairly easy build. I cut my own lumber from Western Yellow Cedar, sized to 1:20.3. I have a conversion calculater, and took it to round numbers. Being made from cedar, it is somewhat waterproof. Try scratch building one, it's a real challenge.
