I used to have a turntable on my RAGS (rough as guts) railway in Sydney, but the only motor I had was 1 hp electric motor that was too fast really, so i put a governer on it. Things went ok for a while but one day the governer failed and it started to spin, I made a sprint for the switch which was inside the garage. <br /> <br />In the meantime it was spinning faster and faster and finally one of my locos flew right off it, narrowly missing my old dog, over the fence and into next doors yard where it narrowly missed my next door neighbour. It cost me about a dozen cans of beer to calm himn down. <br /> <br /> <br />So I don't think I will bother with a turtable again <br /> <br /> <br />Regards <br /> <br />Ian
