Koz: Instead of trying to figure a way to hold the centre of the Heljan turntable in a depressed position, I'd be doing the opposite, and bracing it in its unloaded position.. In fact the first time I ran my Overland RS-18 onto my Heljan turntable I was shocked to see the centre dip about a scale foot. I had visions of the plastic lip weakening and breaking way from the pit wall, sending the whole structure down through the hole in the benchwork (along with a brass engine) to the floor below. I braced mine with a single small piece of 1X2 just offside of the centre pivot. It works just fine and I now know my locos are safe. Jim Martin

I'm finding that turning it manually there is no binding whatsoever. I'm more inclined to want to keep it in the depressed state so that there is no misalignment when it's light. I need to think about how to accomplish this. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
