@Pingman Carl, could you tell us a little more about that turntable? It looks like it is on the smaller side (I am not knocking it in any way) so I was wondering if it was scratch built? And how was the indexing done? Very nicely done turntable.

As I've mentioned previously, I'm a relatively new member and don't know the answers to your questions. I'll let you know.

He ran it around the layout and put it through its paces. Perfect purchase for a train guy from Wisconsin and his collection of Midwest locomotives and rolling stock reflects that passion. (The C&NW diesels on the whisker track are his.)
Carl,
I am so happy to see the locomotive go to a good home and to hear that it is actually being run by someone who collects Wisconsin Central! Here is an old photo of it on my modular layout when I last ran the locomotive in 2015.

Glad you saw my post, Jonathan. Drew told me his Dad remembers seeing these run. He gave the unit some TLC since the snow plow needed some attention, and he added to the lighting. It ran and sounded great. And it most assuredly found a GREAT home. It will be run regularly and be well-maintained.
I'll pass along your comments and photo to him.
