Actually, I didn't get that far and found myself wondering the best way to
do it.
I have two ideas that I am working on just trying to figure out which one is
better. My main design overall was to figure out HOWTO overcome the torque
issues when making such a big Turntable. The twin 9v Motor design around the
track seemed to solve that issue. Because of the shear scale it will be easier
to find a way to get power to the center tracks for power. I was trying to find
a way to use the existing train motors but they do not have a clutching system
to stop wheels moving when 9v power is applied. I should have some more public
Ideas by this evening.

| Wayne, The only way I can think of solving the problem would be to have the turntable wheels running on 12v. This way you would have two controllers one for the turntable and one for the two rails above. Jason (22 years ago, 20-Oct-02, to lugnet.trains)
