Turntable/Roundhouse
Posted by cccpro on Tuesday, August 9, 2005 12:58 PM
Any recommendations for an N-Scale turntable/roundhouse? Does not have to be automated. Price, as always, is a factor but quality is the most important. Thanks ahead of time for input & suggestions. I have really enjoyed the forum.

The Atlas TT and roundhouse is probably the simplest best all around value. See it at www.atlasrr.com.

I'll second that. You can go nuts with expensive TTs and roundhouses if you like, but the Atlas combo (I have both in HO) is a decent value for the money. With a little extra work (i.e., whitewashing the mortar on the roundhouse, filling in the unused track connection areas on the TT and painting/weathering it), you can make both look pretty decent.

I have a HO Korber Models Roundhouse and a Bowser turntable. Both are excellent quality.

100% on the money. I have a fortune in an HO system and my OLD 28 years ago, Atlas manual turntable is still working like a champ. A little work with some structure on top of it and it passes as a branch line TT. Weather the heck out if it!
Good value and can be made to look better.
