hello George, layout is looking great !
can we get more info on your turn table, homemade ? I like it !
The turntable is homemade. I made it several years ago. It’s 36” so it can fit my entire Allegheny engine and tender on it. It’s not really a tinplate look, but it’s mine. The pit base is plywood hung with brackets from the table top. The pit walls are balsa wood. The drive motor is a Radio Shack antenna rotator. The bridge sits on a Lazy Susan ring. The sides of the bridge are balsa wood. The railings are brass stock cut and soldered together.
I used HO track for the pit rail. That’s my one regret. I should have cut a single rail of Gargraves but at the time worried about forming the circle.
