Turntable for TT Scale

[ntpntpntp]

@Forty Twa probably a bit too large at 295mm diameter, and does the covered deck style suit?

From what I can work out the expensive Roco TT turntable is based on the Fleischman N version (183mm bridge) rather than the HO version.

I managed to get a very good condition but 2nd hand Roco 1:120 turntable but tbh I think it’s a bit on the small side as my Blink Bonney’s buffers over hang. I don’t think a coronation class would fit.

The good old Triang TT fits an A1 just fine though, I’ve got 2 of these but unfortunately without the motors, although all the contacts work so I think I’ll use good old “handamatic” until I can sort out a motor and scratch build a hut to cover it.

Funny thing, the footprint is about the same.

I’ll be putting one on Facebook soon.

I came across this one earlier today.

@antony only 135mm deck though, so too small for the pacific locos.

This seems a very fair price! Also noticed they have an arc or part segment turntable with servo. Link below. Would this kind of thing ever have been used in the UK?

@GMD I'm sure there have been a few examples of sector plates on UK standard gauge (and not for large/long locos), but I've seen them more often with narrow gauge.

There are some stations in the U.K. where a full turntable was used for loco release, two in NE England — Alston (ex-NE) and Rothbury (ex-NB). The one at Alston was removed some considerable time before closure; there was a loop further out from the station where trains could be run round. The turntable at Alston was rather small, so it's possible that the locos being used (J39s and standard 3MT 2-6-0s) were too long.
