I just found another photo of my experiment with a turntable deck. Here I was also experimenting with the tower bridge on the deck being made out of some other scrap plastic.
This is the one I built for use on my modified Central Midland layout

Interesting new Plan Consideration
I really like this 'truss bridged' turntable.
railandsail That is quite the layout you have there Mike. Got a link to more photos, info?

Sure, check them out at my Imageshack. You'll need to page back a bit right now, as I've been working on the outdoor RR, drones, etc this summer and not done much inside. Turntable pics are mostly way back near the beginning, but scattered throughout.

So you have a larger scale outdoor layout and a HO inside latout?
Yes, HO/HOn3 inside and built my Telluride & Tin Cup (Fn3) this spring out on the patio/in the yard. Gotta come up from the basement and get some fresh air every so often. Drop me a PM, check the old WPF threads in the General Discussion forum, or try these links so we don't get too far off Dave's topic here. Be happy to carry on at length.

To keep this TT-related, construction of one of my manual TTs is illustrated about halfway down the secend page of the link just above.
Dave,
hon30critter Scratch building a turntable is a definite possibility. I like your idea of spliiting Atlas flex track in two to form the pit rail. Thanks, Dave

I scratchbuilt two turntables. I don't recommend it unless you really like a challenge.
If you do go that route, IMHO kitbashing the Atlas is a better option. Of course opinions do vary.....

Have a look back at this subject thread for some NICE turntable photos, and one posting on building one cheaply (and very nice)

Hi railandsail:
I'm familiar with doctorwayne's work. he is one of the best.
I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
