Just pulled the trigger for new Millhouse River Studio turntable - 34" with autoindexing and lighted cab. Really looking forward to this and will add Korber roundhouse. Will make a really nice addition to the layout. Takes 5 weeks to get one of these as each one is made to order. It will be a late August project!

Good decision! Al is a great guy with a great turntable. 
Yes, I have spoken with him at York and the turntable he had there looks great. Being able to run it from the cab2 is a plus as well. I will be able to sit back with a modest chardonnay and watch the turntable in action!
That should give you time to start the roundhouse construction. See Laidoffsick "opinions on roundhouse lighting" thread.
I received my 24" TT from Alan last week. I finished laying yard tracks this weekend and cut the hole in the tabletop - test fitting looks great. Am awaiting additional benchwork from Tim Foley and will do the final installation in August. The laser cut cab and brass castings are beautiful - you will love it.
Alan is spot on with his delivery times - great guy to deal with and VERY responsive. I had an N scale TT 30 years ago - they are a totally different beast in O scale...massive and solid. My 5 year old grandson doesn't know what it does but was awed when he saw it sitting next to the layout.
Have fun!
Wow, this will become a really Focal Point on Your Layout. Congratulations and this is, In My Opinion, A 5 Star Rated Turntable in every Aspect. Enjoy and Happy Railroading.
Harold you will NOT be disappointed, and it will become the focal point of your layout even if that was not your intention. 
but it will eat up a ton of space!
A recent post ask the question?, How much space is required for a TT and RH??
My responses.
This is a Diamond scale 27" Turntable and a Korber 304 (4) stall house. Done in a 5' X 7'
A larger Turntable, 30" with a similar (4) stall Korber 304. TT and House are 4ft X 8ft. The T module, that ties to the 5 track mains, is an addition 5 ft deep X 6 ft. Overall at least 13 ft X 4'-6'.
Harold, you will be having a blast running the turntable. Gregg, looking forward to the photos of your new TT. Doug, your TT/RH photo looks great!
Gregg; how about some photos!!!

Sure thing - will add some shots as I install. For now, there's a 2' hole in the yard area of the layout. This is the 24" TT and you can see how sturdy it is by the gauge of the frame. Also, the bogey motor castings and the laser cut cab are nicely done.
Bought mine this past year.....best part of my layout and the focal point of every visitor to my train room. You will enjoy it.

Pictures look great! I am really looking forward to getting the turntable and roundhouse installed and will post pic.
