Excellent video, thanks for posting ! What a great job in restoring the turntable and brilliant to see mainline steam locos back in Aberdeen.. part of the city's proud history !

The Turntable is the original 70 foot (Ransome and Rapiers) item installed by the Caledonian Railway in 1908. All it needs now is a vacuum motor to assist the turning effort.

For a day like that, it was really thrilling to come along and see the turntable in action, especially as an early birthday gift. I definitely would love to come back here again some day

This is the original turntable that was installed n 1908 to replace a smaller one, elsewhere in the site
