Sometimes it overshoots the connection track before it stops, so I need to run it a bit backwards. Are there any tricks or adjustments I can try?

Should the motor turn slower then the module for the turntable which Marklin makes could get out of synch since it works on time and power draw to calculate where the turntable is in it's scheme of indexing.

However I have had nothing but trouble with them out of the box from improper wiring diagrams for set up to dead spots between the deck and the connecting tracks that refuse to be repaired. They are nice, but test yours at the store before buying.

Not true, Stephen, it can be used by Märklinists. Actually, if Roco hadn't brought out its turntable years ago, we would still be using the old 7186, I am convinced.
		I like M-track and my things that run on it were built between 1959 and 1972.
