RJR, that is a great idea for allowing better friction between the motor and the round board that turns the bridge. Although I had that issue with my Bowser 32 inch TT, I was able to get a welded plate (6 inches by 2 inches) and use a 5/16 Steel shaft that ridgedly allowed very little if any shifting of the bridge during turning. Also, went with the PTC 3 stepper motor with touch pad settings. If I were going to keep my layout, which probably will be sold in the next 3 years, I would invest in the best, MILLHOUSE TT. Pictures are of Farmerjohns Layout in Kentucky. It’s a 34 inch Millhouse TT. The roundhouse is a Korber...10 stall, and the doors open and close via tortoise switch motors....Enjoy.
