First topic message reminder :

that is a matter of discretion, but so far it's been my old house, my current job, and my trains

it is not in our home, but it is close by, and we are still fighting with the new turntable

Hope you get it resolved soon

by 1mtvfan Thu 22 Jan 2015, 5:19 pm

an update to that, it is working fine again, but the major hope is to see it working in the spot intended for it on the setup

Cool! What kind of turntable is it? What company?

by 1mtvfan Thu 22 Jan 2015, 8:04 pm

Walthers i think, but it's a 90 foot turntable

by **TigerTankFan** Thu 22 Jan 2015, 10:12 pm

You are right on both counts MTV... and its called a 90ft turntable because that's how long it would be in real life.

by 1mtvfan Thu 22 Jan 2015, 11:00 pm

well obviously it would be 90 feet in real life. but i wasn't sure on who made it

Is that a good company?

by 1mtvfan Fri 23 Jan 2015, 1:43 pm

walthers is one of the best companies for quality models. they are reasonably priced also, because you will pay a fair amount for quality

Cool! How is your turntable working?

by 1mtvfan Fri 23 Jan 2015, 3:14 pm

still testing, but outside of the slot, it has made a complete circle, now the test is to see if it will do a complete 360 inside of the slot i made for it

by **TigerTankFan** Fri 23 Jan 2015, 11:27 pm

isn't that something our dad did, mtv?

by 1mtvfan Sat 24 Jan 2015, 4:41 pm

still testing it either way

by **TigerTankFan** Sat 24 Jan 2015, 4:44 pm

Agreed

by 1mtvfan Sat 24 Jan 2015, 10:35 pm

turntable is working right, but still has to be installed. but that will happen after the spur lines are laid down first

That is cool. What was the problem?

by 1mtvfan Sat 24 Jan 2015, 11:31 pm

just internal parts misaligned and refusing to realign

by **Brandon** Sat 24 Jan 2015, 11:43 pm

When are the tracks going to bo up?

by 1mtvfan Sun 25 Jan 2015, 12:04 am

most likely on Monday eve, as we are taking tomorrow off

by **bgradionetwork** Sun 25 Jan 2015, 12:38 pm

Cool, why did the tracks need to come off?

by 1mtvfan Sun 25 Jan 2015, 1:09 pm

the tracks never came up, because the turntable was never installed on a permanent basis, but the spur lines are for the locomotive storage, which have to go down first before the turntable is permanently installed

by **Brandon** Sun 25 Jan 2015, 1:20 pm

What exactly is spur line? Can you provide a picture?

by 1mtvfan Sun 25 Jan 2015, 4:49 pm

it is what one calls a single track with only one access point at one end

by **Brandon** Sun 25 Jan 2015, 5:08 pm

Can you provide a photograph from google or somewhere?

by 1mtvfan Sun 25 Jan 2015, 7:37 pm

just think of stretch of track with one way in and dead ends
