gallows turntable

[Anonymous]

I am modeling On30 and am in need of a gallows type turntable. Any one know of a good kit, plans or finished model?

Lineside Structures You Can Build is a Kalmbach book. It has plans for at least two turntables in it which look relatively simple to build. I have not attempted them yet, but it is on my list of things to do.

Railroad Model Craftman's recent book on loco terminals, etc. has a plan of a SP NG gallows turntable. Also, see MAINLINE MODELER, Jan. 2002, Pg. 58; plans and construction article by Al Armitage.

See also Model Railroader, Sept. '65 - contains a S.P. NG. turntable, photos & drawings.

Kalmbach's Loco Terminals book contains a couple of articles on turntables. I built the "speaker jack" style for my little HO system. - a scratchbuilt gallows one!
