The turntable is fascinating to me. I want one badly on my build but just can't get the engineering process clear in my head yet.
Seems fairly simple but yet NOT.
But I'm cutting and pasting every picture you post on yours in a attempt to figure it out.
You build is really looking good over there.

Hi Larry, the turntable ain't rocket science. The mechanism is simple enough. If you have a local scrap yard nearby /car/bus breakers yard ,go buy an old water pump mechanism or even a suitable axle end .Get a welder to weld a bridge on it (has to be level and centred of course) , All you need after that is an old rubber washing machine belt and a way to tension it and a handle to turn it.. I now have two turntables in my garden ,one on the G scale line and the one on the O gauge line. I'll dig out some old pics .Are you talkin about for the garden ? or inside ?
