Might I suggest not to use a pit turntable in areas you might be modeling that have seasonal snowfall.I was reminded of this my last post on turntable inquiries.Atlas`s flat turntable is more prototypical in these snowy areas especially after painting and weathering including power building.Would you want to dig out a pit full of snow? Railroad crews didn`t either. If you really need that pit in your area,an easy and reliable turntable is drawn out in one of the recent MR`s. It`s touted to have reliable indexing. If you are interested I`ll look up which month it appeared. Walthers is notorious for this product. Binding occurs in most if not all of their turntables. I heard a few modelers have been able to repair this problem,but would you really want to buy an inferior product and try and fix it. Sometimes the saying "you get what you pay for" really hits a home run. Walthers is aware of the problem and seems to be ignoring the whole mess.(maybe if we`re quiet they`ll go away). Not! Just don`t buy their turntables until they address this problem and don`t let any of your rail buddies buy them. Soon after they can`t sell anymore they might produce something that really works. At this time though they`re just ripping everybody off on a problem they seem to have had for some time. If you are modeling areas with snow,you would do well with the old reliable Atlas flat turntable with your own artistic touches to make it very prototypical.Whew! horailfan[:D}
