GIVING A DIFINITIVE WITHOUT ALL THESE BEING CONSIDERED:IMPOSIBLE![}:)] THE ARMSTRONG AT THE HENERY FORD MUSEAM WAS A BLAST. WE TURNED A PLYMOTH 0-4-0 AND OVERSHOT BUT IT WAS GOOD AND EVERYONE LAUGHED. THE USSUAL CONTROLER FOR THE TURNTABLE IN TIMES PAST WAS THE SAME AS ONE USED ON AN INTERURBAN OR TROLLY.
