   Using train track would make a huge turntable.

Nah. “Huge” is such a relative term;-)

   The monorail is a more practical size (but would cost more) As a matter of interest how big do turntables get in the US? Are/were there ones long enough turn a Big Boy?

UP had a few turntables that could turn Big Boys; otherwise they would just use wyes. Not sure about modern one, though.
