Excellent! I have a Heljan turntable and love it. You have given me some ideas for making bit more realistic. You just need to fit a stay alive to the loco so the sound doesn't cut out on the dead spot 😁

Good point on a stay alive capacitor cancelling the dead spot…………

@@Rancidhamster Might be able to install a stay alive to the track so all locos dont cut out. it should be instantly drained when the contacts meet as it finishes the revolution

@@anthonylulham3473 hmmm good idea worth thinking about

Hi, great to see a turntable in action especially one that can take a steam locomotive and tender comfortably, If this is the Heljan model it is the best you can get for the money, according a forum I looked at the other day it said that the electronic control system can fail and it’s quite expensive to get a replacement, are there any other control systems that can be used instead of the factory one, the Hornby offering is very old and noisy and very toy like, the Peco one is very bland, the Fleischmann turntable is superb but very expensive, the Roco, Marklin, Trix models are too short, thanks for sharing.

This turntable is now five years old and it was used on Westfield III, my attic layout, for two years. Then I ripped it out and it sat in a container for two years and I just recently installed it on this layout. As you can see it works great and I have no complaints about the control box which is simple to wire up. I would recommend the Heljan TT if that is any help to you?

Oh and the cobblestones I first saw on Grandad's Train Room KZbin site and they are from Jumble Lane 3D printing

Your turntable looks great. I love the signs on and around. I'd would like to add some to my Heljan turntable

[@Rancidhamster]

look on line for turntable signs then cut and paste and bob's your etc etc
