Is there a company out there that makes a motorized Roundhouse large enough to support the Big-Boy Locomotive? The Big-Boy I’m referring to is the one at http://www.usatrains.com/usatrainsbigboy.html web page. <br />"PRESTIGE SERIES "DIE-CAST METAL" <br />BIG BOY LOCOMOTIVE WITH SOUND <br />The above was taken directly from their web page. I have been searching everywhere for one but, to no avail. I recently found a web site that showed a Roundhouse that had a 60” Turntable which would be ideal for a Big-Boy Locomotive. I am not too sure about the stalls as far as their depth but, I think it was deep enough as well. Someone out there has to know of a company that has taken on the task of designing a Turntable/ Roundhouse specifically with big loc’s in mind. <br />Our garden is a whopping 27.5 meters long X 12 meters wide. So I can negotiate any turn I want with Big-Boy seeing as how this loc requires 8’ for it’s turning radius. 8’ equates to 2.44 meters. I have plenty of space! Any information could be sent to this post or to my private email account which is: <br />onefifthsaler@yahoo.com <br /> <br />Thanks in advance <br /> <br />briaN <br />Engineer in Train-ing <br />
