Looking for the little turntable that RichArt made to run a toonerville trolley run back and forth on the track.

In a related note, forum sponsor Cabin fever expo has a different toonerville trolley listed at an upcoming auction, but nothing like the turntable you are looking for.

My heart longs for one of those little turntables. Love the great video

WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL,WONDERFUL. Just what I’m looking for
Just for the fun of it, here is my original Fontaine Fox floor toy version. The clockwork still functions.
Have fun!

That’s real nice. I’d love to have the windup version. I have the Rich Art standard gauge version and the toonerville station with the characters, (RichArt again). I also have several hundred full color Sunday comics that I put away in the attic 40 some years ago. I’ve got to go up there and find them one of these days. ( they may be junk by now or…hopefully okay
After watching my Toonerville trolley run back and forth between two turntables I thought it be interesting to have two trolleys running. A project to create a train control to allow two Toonerville trolleys to pass on a siding was started as shown on the link below.

My project is completed and I have a demo layout to run two Toonerville trolleys. A passing siding was constructed to allow trolleys going in opposite directions to pass each other. The link in the previous post describes the construction and operation of the passing siding.

That's a fun project, and thanks for posting the details in the other thread.
Looking at the TCA directory, it appears that you're a member. If that's correct, I'd like to suggest that you submit an article about the entire project to the Quarterly.
