I installed a 90' turntable on my layout. There was some things that I had to do to get the thing to run well. One problem that I had to correct was the out of round of the side walls of the pit. Go ahead and dry fit your bridge, part #2, and your deck, part #3, along with the plastic bearings into your pit, part#1. Then place that assembly in ti the hole you have in your layout. Slowly turn the bridge by hand to find any places were the decking on the bridge might be hitting the side wall of the pit. carefully remove any areas that are binding. When you have shaved and polished any areas that were causing problem dry fit the motor and power it up and do another check, in the well were it wll be installd, and check it out again shaveing off any areas that might be binding. When I installed mine in my prepared well it had minor binding that I had to correct, (diffrent stress areas i guess). The only other thing that I did was to slow down the RPM's. It was way to fast for a realistic operation. Luckly I was abel to watch an engine being turned on an actual turntable. I timed the operation and then I tried to duplicate that on my model. I found that 5 volts did a close job. My own opinion. I am happy with what I have and how it works. If you consider the price I think it was a bargain. My locos get on go around and get off. What more can you ask for? Joe
