[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by BR60103</i> <br /><br />Hi, Gordon Highlander! <br />The easiest way to do it is to get a big board and put the roundhouse on it. Mark the track centerlines and project them to where they all meet, which will be the center of the turntable. They should all meet at the same point! <br />If you can't get a centerline easily, mark the middles of the back walls and the front walls and join them up. <br />I'm not sure, but you might be able to put a yardstick along both outside walls and work from that. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> Andrew, the only stupid question is the one not asked. <br /> By the way I see you are new to Forum, so [#welcome] to fourm. <br /> <br /> David is on the right track (pun intended). Set the roundhouse down find the center lines of each stall at the front and rear and all the lines will merge in the center. <br /> I would like to add, install the turntable first then the roundhouse base or foundation. Build both structures on the same board (I have mine mounted on 4" X 4" sheet of 2" foam). <br />
