Nice plan, Koz! As far as manual control of the turntable, putting a bar at the end to move it with your finger, etc. would be prototypical and should overcome the twisting of the turntable bridge caused by the binding when the center of the turntable pit depresses under the weight of an engine.
I would, however, solidly support the center of the pit in case you would change your mind about powering the turntable. You should be able to learn more about this in the coming days. Now, I've got to finish detailing MY turntable! I've got some ideas, but not sure when they'll see light of day. Whenever I get something, anything, working, the cosmetic details seem to suffer. I guess that's why I'm working so hard on these flat car conversions (two down and two to go!
