I have one of the diamond scale 115 ft steel truss turntables. It is a nice kit, easy to assemble works well, looks nice.

A second place to look would be Custom Model Railroads.  They offer several different deck sizes in HO and N.  Try this link.

Thanks  this Diamond Scale is closest thing so far  Have you built one or seen one of theirs working??

SP  I'd love to find a 100' table as it would hold my largest loco  but no luck so far  but thanks.

A turntable of 14 inches would be just over 100 feet in HO scale. The 100 feet would allow you to turn two GP-9 or similar size units together and a SP GS class northern would fit too. The GS class wheelbase is just short of 100 feet.

SP 4449 is kept in the former SP roundhouse in Portland and there is a 100 foot turntable there. The 4449 and 700 just fit with some careful positioning on the bridge.

Diamond Scale has a couple (deck and thru-truss) of 115-foot turntables.

I can find HO Turntables that are 90' long or 130' long in Walthers and Atls but I would like to find one that is more like 100' or 110' long.  Any suggestions  would be appreciated 

Thanks  Jim
