Hi John: Peco makes an On30 turntable 12 inches diameter for about 100 dollars. It would convert to a 65 foot turntable in S.
Helgan makes a 14 inch diameter HO turntable that can be converted to a 75 footer in S for, I think, about 60 bucks. Both of the above are plastic and unpowered in their base form. I think they might offer optional motorizing kits. Others on this list will know. Moving up in price and quality, check out Custom Model Railroads (custommodelrailroads.com) They make laser-cut acrylic turntable kits in HO lengths of 90, 105, 120 and 135 feet for prices in the 200 dollar range. I've seen an unassembled kit at Trevor Marshall's place and it looks to be very well engineered. A motorizing kit will add about another 135 dollars to the price. Check out pages 5 and 6 in their HO kits section.

I am expanding my layout and would like to include a turntable, has anyone bought one recently with a good experience? Thanks, John Pittsburgh, PA
