Hi Ed: That's turning into a nice looking S scale turntable. My current layout doesn't require a turntable... BUT... one never knows what the future holds. I mean, what if I won the lottery didn't have to work and could play with my hobbies all the time? I could see a new out building in my future filled with S scale and, why of course, I would need a turntable. So, this "Heljan HO into S" idea is now safely tucked away in that cranial steel trap known as my brain.
It's great being a genius. BTW, the layout pics in your folder looked good, too. Got any updates? Trackplan?

I uploaded 3 pictures to my Koz's Layout Album, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/S-Scale/photos/album/120265590/pic/list I built the Heljan bridge by assembling the sides and trolleys per instructions. Then I cut a piece of styrene to fit between the girders. Next I glued strips on top of the girders to bring the rail up to where I needed it. Finally I glued new ties to the filler pieces. Rail comes next. Ed Kozlowsky Sanford, Maine --- On Sat, 7/9/11, Andre Ming <[email protected]> wrote: From: Andre Ming <[email protected]> Subject: Re: {S-Scale List} What are you up to?

Too hot to go outside, and besides, I have to endure the heat every work day anyway... so it's A/C for me on the weekends! You made comment about using Heljan's turntable for S. Great idea. Do you have any progress pics you can share? As for me: I've been preoccuppied with a hard drive switchover, and haven't done much train stuff lately, either V scale or S. A few days ago I did tune on some track (on my S scale layout) and started installing the missing ties under track joints. That's about it.
