QUOTE: Originally posted by jcgisel gsetter looks good with the heljan kit. when I put mine together I tried to follow the directions and I could not get the pieces to fit together as per the directions.Looks like you had the same problem, but overcame it. I haven't done anything with it,and now that I saw the flieshman TT at the hobbyshop, I've made up my mind that I want to get one with indexing. I still will save the heljan and maybe try to play with it to make it work.
QUOTE: Originally posted by MisterBeasley The Atlas turntable is very cheap, even with the motor kit, and very small. It will turn one diesel, but even a modest steam engine and tender would be too big. It is also a "wood platform" model, not a pit turntable. It mates perfectly with the Atlas roundhouse kit. Some people have used it as the base for a pit turntable by building their own raised bridge and "dropping" the mechanism below the layout level. (That's in the long-term plan, but right now mine is surface-mounted.) This turntable has good "indexing" included, which means that it stops at each track for a while before continuing. It's also pre-wired, and doesn't even require a reverser if you're using DCC.
