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

circular boat-stud tiles (or whatever they are called) to reduce the friction.
