Has anyone out there scratch built an HO scale turntable? That's a consideration on my new layout and I'm looking for ideas / guidance. Paul Moore
No experience, but I was curious about it. I seem to recall someone using a 1/4" phono plug jack for power and a spindle. Anyway, I found these links that may be helpful: http://www.housatonicrr.com/DIY_Turntable.htm https://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/4122 http://www.freerails.com/view_topic.php?id=7217&forum_id=5
I have scratch built a model of the Joplin turntablefor my Ninth Avenue yard engine terminal in Birmingham. It's described in the thread "Birmingham Alabama and Environs" thread under HO Model Railroading. http://www.frisco.org/shipit/index....m-alabama-and-environs.7123/page-2#post-61333 Ken McElreath
