Homemade Turntable | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Mancave trainsOGR Forum Member

I understand the cost $$$ of Millhouse River Studio, Bowser and Ross Custom turntables , these things are hard to build without precision tools to make every thing level and true but I wanted to take a shot at it. So far I am happy with were I am at, I will need to tweek a few things but very happy with speed control and motor I found on ebay, I will not need index control to stop at each track do to the very slow speed I can turn bridge at. I am really enjoying the challenge and I have only spent about $75 bucks so far.

Cheaper is better! Obviously a lot of fine tuning involved, but looks good.
