Roundhouses

Walthers offers a roundhouse and turntable, and will be bringing out a second roundhouse, and a second turntable next spring. <br /> <br />Kibri also makes a 3-stall roundhouse, which often can be found on sale. Walthers lists it as part #405-59452. Although it is based on a European prototype, the Kibri roundhouse is similar to many North American structures--it bears a strong resemblance to the Milwaukee Road roundhouse at Fond du Lac, WI, for instance. I've built it, and it's a very nice kit. <br /> <br />If you're really interested in having a roundhouse, but aren't too keen about building a turntable, you can skip the turntable, and run tracks into the roundhouse via track switches. Many railroads removed turntables and filled in the turntable pits, but kept roundhouses in operation in this fashion. <br /> <br />--John
