matthew and Tom. I don't know how skilled I am, looking at the intructions for assmebling the turntable I probably would have problems if it wasn't mostly assembled when I got it. It's currently at a friend's house. He's a DCC wizard so he is bench testing it for me to make sure it works befpre I instal it on the layout. We're also going to discuss operating it using a DCC decoder but that's later.
Before I gave it to him:
I did some measurments to figure out the shims that I need to level it with the top of the layout. The previous owner did a few modifications to the orginal design including using Micro Engineering bridge track. That made the turntable bridge a bit taller so he increased the height of the pit. When I took all those thing into account, I needing to put 3/4" spacers between the turntable bottom and the layout bottom.
I quick check with my test adapter and the height looks right. When I get the turntable back I'll be able to install it and start filling in the gaps with some foam.
In the meantime:
This is the enginehouse/car shed that I'll be using. This will be part two of the big winter project.
