What roundhouse kits are available (2-4 stalls) that are made for 12 degree track spacing. Needs to hold 30” locos. Thanks.

Atlas makes a 3 stall. Not sure of the degree spacing. I believed it was designed to go with their turntable. If I was in the market for one now. I’d check out Altoona Modelworks. It comes as a kit. They will build it for you. Don’t know if you can do a York pick up. High quality and you can get it designed to fit your footprint.
Dave,
I am pretty sure I have seen their buildings at York. I will check them out. Thanks.
ADDED: By the way, the Atlas is at 15 degrees to match their turntable.
Not sure of degrees but Dennis Brennan, Harry Hieke, Korber, Altoona, possibly Dave at Crescent Locomotive Works, and Atlas.
If you can afford the best, you should email Dennis Brennan and get the details. You will need to buy his extender kit for those long boys of yours. But Dennis's kit is the creme de la creme--and priced accordingly. He said he was only going to make 60 of them and I think he's down to about 15 left.
I have his kit and am just now positioning the tracks for it after installing my old Bowser TT. But I did not have layout space for the stall extensions and so did not go that route. But the kit is SO well made. It's going to be big fun to build. And Dennis is the very soul of knowledgeable. personal service. No connection. Just a satisfied customer.

Thanks for the kind words, Don. Actually, right now I have 10 left and I will not be doing another run.
