Would a railroad split it's roundhouse so that two turntables were required? It seems unnecessarily complicated. The ones I have seen allow both sections to be served by a single turntable set between them.

Your comment reminded me of this these prototype photos seen on another forum...





Its was in Germany...two intertwining TT's for one massive round house.

I was actually referring to the first picture posted of the "split" roundhouse on the first page. The placement seemed odd. In your example, the Germans did not split the roundhouse - they gapped it to allow a single entrance.
