Thanks N-maniac and dgwinup, <br /> <br />This is why I come to forums like this! For tunately I have no need to worry about a prototype at all. This is a realisation of my daughters fantasy world (complete with dragons) and a fictional character of my invention who explains how things work and how things are made in stories after lights out each night. <br /> <br />Their are some really nice, rustic looking two stall engine sheds somewhere on the net. I found them when searching for turntables. I think we can get away with this unless I feel up to scratch building that as well. The desire for a roundhouse comes, naturally, from Thomas shows and from her own wooden railway (not Thomas) which has a 5 stall roundhouse. <br /> <br />N-maniac: I understand the geometry as you have discussed it. Fortunately I will only need two stalls. At 100mm diameter, a 22.5° track spacing would have the track centres something like 19mm apart, that should be doable. <br /> <br />Now all I need to do is figure out how to build a turntable! <br /> <br />Well it is off to the Toronto CHristmas Treain show this afternoon, maybe I will find some inspiration there. <br /> <br />John
