Besides using a decoder to operate the turntable motor, don't forget the polarity of the rails reverses whenever the bridge is turned 180 degrees. You could connect the rails to the auto reverse on your booster, if it has one. Or get a [url="http://www.ares-server.com/Ares/Ares.asp?MerchantID=RET01229&Action=Catalog&Type=Product&ID=82029"]<u>MRC Automatic Reverse Module</u>[/url]. <br /> Since you will be using a basic mobile decoder, think what you can do with the other functions. Turn on and off a yard light to light up the turntable. <br /> <br />That's a pretty strong motor. As Mister Beasley sez; check for [url="http://www.trains.com/Content/Dynamic/Articles/000/000/002/385sztcn.asp"]<u>Stall Current</u>[/url].
