Hi Nigel. Turntables are few an far between here. Most yards have a Y area to turn them around. What's a Y? There is a main track with two switches a quarter mile or more apart. both of these curve into a single track with a single switch. The locomotve enters one switch goes into the curve past the switch then gets switched over to the other curved track, backs down to the main switch and it is now going in the opposite direction it arrived at. One note, Norfolk and Southern RR has locomotives with two control stands so they don't have to worry about having the cab in the short nose forward position. I hope this helps.
