Walthers 130' Turntable

I have one of the 90' Walthers turntables in my "to do" pile. What I have read elsewhere and earlier are two modifications that seem to solve a bunch of the kit's problems: <br />1. Put some lead weigt in the turntable bridge to eliminate, or at least reduce, the erratic motion. <br />2. Hard wire you power leads, preferably though a cheapie MRC reversing module, directly to the track on the bridge. Yes, you do have to be aware you cannot make a complete 360 degree turn, otherwise you break the wires. <br /> <br />I plan to drive mine with an inexpensive DCC decoder so I'll be using the calibrated eye ball to align the bridge with the approach tracks.
