I have wondered if the turntable on the PAL layout Summer layout was hooked up and operable. I know the turntable on the famous Lionel 1949 Showroom layout and the 1993 version in Jackson, MS were not hooked up or workable.
I watched the PAL 60th Anniversary and story link 3:43 min video of 2010 layout linked below

The following pictures were taken off my laptop screen from the above.
The first shows the almost never seen, in pictures or videos, the PAL turntable and part of the control panel, which a classic track diagram with control switches on it. Do not know why the TT and Round House on the PAL Summer layout are usually missing in action in the CTT, OGR and PAL pictures and videos. But maybe I am just too much interested in TT and RHs, my favorites areas of 50s era layouts.
The second picture shows the upper left area of the control panel with where the turntable and round house controls are. It shows a large, dark circular knob of the turntable and round house selector switch and a turntable and roundhouse track power switch to the right of it. I conclude that at least the 2010 version of the PAL layout had a operating turntable and round house.
