Well, off the top of my head there is Ross, Millhouse River, AAA Turntables, and Vernon Peachy (sp?). Bowser does not produce them anymore but once in a while they come up for sale on the secondary market. I'm sure there may be one or two others I am forgetting. I have the Millhouse River TT and I am very happy with it.

Or...if one is willing to Google.....  Every one of the folks that Phil mentioned above manufacture turntables and better yet, they all are advertisers here on the forum and magazine!!

I have the RCS tt with the indexing unit. It is super quiet and smooth.

...keep the rails polished...

Does Atlas still have there O Gauge Turntable, and if you have one, please tell us about it.

Thanks - trainroomgary

There is also a postwar # 375 Lionel turntable, if you can find one in decent condition. Here's some info, courtesy of Tandem Associates:

Lionel turntable

Atlas still lists their turntable in their parts list. At least it was in there a few months ago. I don't have room for one at this time. The Atlas is much more in line with my budget though.

Hey Alan,

I did Google it and guess what? Diamond Scale did not come up when I Googled it, was not on Phil's list, is not a forum advertiser. Consequently, I do not believe we have a complete list....apology accepted

Well, if you are looking to purchase a turntable I  can offer my 2 cents. I have the Millhouse River 34 inch turntable and I LOVE IT!!! it is extremely well made form welded aluminum and the drive is nice and quiet. I also have the indexing kit and it works awesome!!! once the programming is done it is very straight forward to use and will even work with the legacy remote and the LCS system although I have not gotten it hooked up to the LCS and Legacy base yet. The most important part is Al the owner is about the most helpful dealer I have yet to deal with. For a while there I was needing something from him all the time and he was always more than willing to help me out. Great guy and an amazing product. In my opinion you cant go wrong with the Millhouse River turntable

TrainHead, I've had the Ross 33" Turntable since they came out, easy to install and runs like silk.

Millhouse River.....

Millhouse River is the way to go.

I totally agree with this. Al was a big help to me in working out a few bugs when I installed the indexing system.

Steve B. from Ross is also great to work with. I have his Transfer table.

Well...Trainhead....I don't know what you put in the search bar when you Googled it but I put in "O-scale turntables" and Diamond Scale DOES come up on the second page.  Perhaps you didn't go beyond the first page...??  AND..if you read my post above more closely, I said that every one of the folks that Phil mentioned are advertisers here.  He didn't mention Diamond Scale...no apology necessary on anybody's part...

Alan

I didn't mention Diamond Scale because I thought that they had stopped making O scale turntables. I googled Diamond Scale Turntable and it came up on the first page for me. Perhaps it depends on what search engine you use. Anyway, it appears my memory was correct for a change. I got this from their website:

(O-scale turntables and HO TS-105 are currently unavailable.)

That is one heck of a great photograph! Excellent modeling and photography!

not happy with my Bowser, even after major changes in the drive system.

You need a Turntable that stops and locks into position and that cannot be moved easily by your hand after it stops; The Bowser relies on the center spindle for both rotational drive and support. You need one where the rotating track is fully supported on the outside circular rail. 

Millhouse River Studio - YES!

Not only does it look and work great, but it is built such that it can easily double as a hatch without any additional reinforcement.

The turntable: (Click on images for better detail)

As a hatch: (1. Open the smaller hatch next to the TT to remove the TT bridge. 2. Undo six nylon 1/4-20 thumbscrews. 3. Undo two wing nuts. 4. Allow the TT to swing down.)

Doug's Railroad Shop has 12 different versions of O scale gallows turntables..."A" frame and "H" frame  in three lengths....50', 46'. and 65", probably not long enough for a Triplex, and these are probably "armstrong", but maybe able to be powered.

Email at walthoward@outlook.com.   I just inquired about these, so have no other

information.  I am interested because of the branchline application, as these all

sound very short, NA should fit smaller layouts with small engines.
