Are you kidding me? SIX DAYS without a posting in trains???? This really

So, Im pledging to return to the days when my mouth ran wild in here, even
if I have just talk to the
Evil Tims
(who are obligated and honor-bound to respond in their NG)
What this NG really reminds me of is that one Star Trek Voyager episode
Death Wish
where a Q wants to commit suicide, because there is nothing left to do. We
are like the Continuum here; we have said everything, discussed everything,
and so we all just sit around and lurk. Which is a shame. (this analogy was
brought to you by DaveK)
Actually, its not that bad; Ive actually progressed many of the
friendships that started here into real life versions, so thats a good
thing.
But it would also be a good thing to have this NG alive for the next round of
participants to enjoy. Yeah, I know its been almost 10 years! here for
some, but lets re-energize! Im going to post every day, even if it is just
an old pic or just a quick snapshot of a WIP. Or just a cheap shot at one of
you, baiting you for a response;-)

Okay, I will start.
Im in need of examples of GOOD/GREAT and functional turntables. Well worry
about a roundhouse later. Ive knitted together hundreds (400+) 8x8 plates and
placed them on 4 large baseplates. So I have the ultimate baseplate, now for the
turntable.
Anyone?
Thanks

| (...) I don't have any pictures, since I had to dismantle it when I moved, but I had pretty good luck using a technic turntable, driven by a worm gear. The span consisted of four pieces of straight track, built up with some plates and tiles to make (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jan-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
