I am looking to build a turntable and roundhouse for a Big Boy from ST Aubin. Almost as big as the USA Trains one. I found a 60in turn table here <br /> [url]http://www.gardenrailwayproducts.com/turntable.html [/url] <br /> <br /> For me $1400 is a lot of money even for this hobby, especialy if it aint pulling 8 cars and a tender. So I went to steamtown and photographed their roundhouse for a guide. The design of that house and table looks simple enough to copy in model form (it really has no elaborate features). My thoughts were to use a drill motor and photo sensor for the turntable. You might also look at <br /> <br /> [url]http://www.simplytrains.com/pages/hints&tips/turntable/turntable2.htm[/url] <br /> <br /> [url]http://2guyzandsumtrains.com/Content/pa=showpage/pid=15.html[/url] <br /> <br /> [url]http://www.ida.net/users/tetonsl/railroad/turntabl.htm[/url] <br /> <br /> [url]http://www.dallee.com/Turntable.htm[/url] <br /> <br />Theres a bunch of others out there but I cant remember where. Try looking under roundhouse instead I think thats how I found the most info. <br />
