THE GLACIER LINE UPDATE:
04-10-2015 My wife, Connie, and I are thrilled beyond words! This turntable is too cool! I have seen picture after picture of this turntable in “O” scale for years. I knew the bridge on the turntable is 24 inches long. However, you just can’t appreciate how BIG! This turntable is until you see it in person. A photo of the turntable as I’ve seen just gives you nothing to compare it to. Check out these photos of me holding it. You can tell how BIG it is and this is a small turntable for “O” scale. The full-sized O scale steam engines are well over the 24 inch bridge capacity of this turntable. FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS, I heard all the negative comments like, toylike, plastic, too small, doesn't look realistic at all. I was scared away by all those comments but I reached the point where I have a hidden staging area and all I wanted was a functional turntable without me scratch building one or paying thousands!
I would be the first one to buy a fancy thousand plus dollar turntable if my turntable were to be in a visible section of my layout. When we actually saw this turntable in person it isn't bad at all! It looks decent. And as I've seen in this forum there are pictured weathered versions that are absolutely OUTSTANDING!!!
I posted this solely so others could actually "see" the size of this table as held by a six-foot two, 225 lbs man. I was just stunned as I held it.
My wife Connie will work her paint magic on it!
