<p>[quote user="Fouled Anchor"]So what is your take on turntables? I have heard horror stories, and that is what has kept me away from a layout as pictured above. Of course I could try to fit in a "Y".[/quote]</p> <p>A turntable adds a lot to the atmosphere of a layout, but they do take some care in installing them. If I were in yourf place, I´d give it a go!</p> <p><a href="http://www.kitwoodhillmodels.com/on30-9-pit-turntable/" target="_blank">Here</a> you find a good source for an On30 turntable.</p> <p>A wye needs a lot of space and is not easy to wire. Should you go for DCC, you will need an automatice reverser, which uses a short circuit detector to trip the polarity change. My layout will have a wye to add some operation interest to an otherwise rather "dull" shelf layout.</p>
