Diamond 130' Turntable to Walthers Modern Roundhouse Dimensions

Ed: I think that is the base for the Cornerstone Modern Roundhouse in your picture. If it is, can you let me know the diameter, in approximate inches, of your turntable?

Kevin had some questions about the fitting of the turntable pit to the foundation of the Walthers Cornerstone roundhouse. I began a new thread rather than hijack the Bulletproof thread.

I'll take some measurements shortly, Kevin. Someone had asked about the "setback" from the edge of the pit (2-11/16") a while back so I do have that photo:

It is a 130' Diamond Scale turntable. I originally had the Heljan roundhouse there but I "upgraded" a year or two back to the nicer-looking Cornerstone model.

Let me know if you need more, Kevin.

Hope that helps — Ed

Ed, That is everything I needed to know. I have a Bowser 18 inch turntable and the Cornerstone Modern Roundhouse, and just wanted to be sure they would work together.

I really appreciate it!
