couple of questions:
1. what size turntable is that and what brand buildins/part #'s?
2. how big is your layout, dimensions of the wood?
Once you get it all scened and stuff I would suggest getting one of those claws you see advertised on TVor people who have had hip replacement surgery . They use them to pick things up with so they do not have to bend over. It is perfect for trying to reach something on a 4x8 layout !
Just an observation here, but in the 3rd picture, (your yard) that first track looks a bit too close to the inside curve. If you have a longer engine (like that Big Boy) or long car, it might catch whatever you have sitting on that first yard track. Your layout looks great!!! Keep posting pictures as you progress!!!
I just purchased the turntable on your layout and am currently try to figure out how to wire the tracks inside the engine house. Can you help? Thanks
