Don Merz 070317, great thread, good question and I’m glad there are folks here with some answers. I have the 32 inch Bowser turntable and back in 1998/1999 it was one of the few choices available, affordable for my modest budget. So, we added an Atlas O scale rail for the pit rail, a 3/8 solid shaft bolted under the bridge. Added some block wall siding to the brass pit siding, a little weathering, then a PTC Model 3 indexing kit with a really good stepper motor. The PTC indexer offers a memory of 99 stops for the head and tail of the bridge. Bowser quit making these turntables before I could order the center beam part. Don Sierakowski, neat turntable, nice way to stabilize the shaft and neat gearing. I really like the PTC Indexing system as it’s very reliable. (Yes, today I would buy the Millhouse system) Happy Railroading Everyone
