Rocky, I think it is possible to extend the Walther's bridge. I tried doing this several years ago, but in my haste I messed the whole thing up. The key, I learned is to have the bridge properly centered. If it isn't, it won't look right in the pit. If you are thinking of sinking the Atlas turntable and then using it to turn a Walthers/modified Walthers/sratchbuilt bridge, I don't think it is necessary to grind down the Atlas table. There was an article in one of the magazines, bunches of years ago, where a guy mounted the atlas table under his layout and extended a center shaft up through the pit floor. I think he used a 35mm film canister for this and then ran feeder wires from the rails of the atlas through the can to the rails of the new bridge. Doing it this way, although I'm sure it was kinda tricky mounting the shaft, he didn't have to worry about changing the size of the atlas table nor worry about the pit floor revolving around with the bridge. alll, I think the TT that folks are raving about is the new one that Walthers is introducing. The 95foot table I believe is the same, or close to the same one that Heljan has been marketing for years. The new Walthers one looks way cool, but a little too long for my use.
