Help regarding Bowser Turntable

I have an opportunity to get a Bowser 18" turntable for a decent price. Does anyone have any experience building and operating one of the Bowser turntables? I'm looking for advice as to whether the kit is reasonably easy to build and make function correctly and/or if the completed turntable is satisfactory for normal operation.
Regards,
John

If it is like their engines it should be able to handle a nuclear attack. The castings for the sides of the turntable are pretty rough and it was far deeper than I would have wanted so I built my own.

John;
They are good rugged products, fairly easy to build, simple. If you run into problems, just telephone them.

Thanks for your comments. I just sent a message to the seller telling him I would like to have it.
