I don't know how long a turntable you need, but I'm in the process of converting a Heljan #804 manual TT to S. Simple enough to do, and it will accomodate an engine 13-1/2 inches long.

To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, January 2, 2011, 2:38 PM Greetings friends - I am 95% finished with my trackplan. My main goal was to increase radii on my primary tracks to a minimum of 110 cm (43"). This was done to accomodate a River Raisin H10b Mikado (NYC) I recently purchased. In the stable I presently have two (2) SHS 2-8-0s, an SHS SW-9, and an AM Pacific. Because I was able to save more space when re-designing this layout, I am eager to install a turntable because I have a large open area in which it could fit nicely. Unfortunately, on the Bowser website I read the following (I am not sure how old this post is): We have discontinued production of these kits ... Applies to all turntables. My local hobby shop suggests I use the Atlas O-scale turntable but it looks, well, I guess I'd say too toylike. Maybe one of you has a solution. I'd like to figure this out now as I plan to begin laying track in the coming weeks. BTW: I am a mediocre scratch-builder, sad to say. Many thanks in advance for any ideas, John [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
