Hi

Just ordered the following from my local M dealer.

1 Pc 39560 Croc.
4 Pc 4756 Sheel tank wagon
1 Pc 7286 Turntable
2 Pc 24922 transission between C- and K track

(Cant wait [:p][:p] - he says that I'll have to wait till next thursday to get all the parts [V] )

I use C-track on my layout but the turntable is K-track.
I will use K-flex track from the turntable into the roundhouse.

Is there any hints - whatch out - be carefull - things that this great forum can tell me about before I ruin everything in my attempt to build the turntable into my table.

I use MDF 12-16 mm as table on my open frame layout construction.
12-16 mm because it would be possible for me to use 16 mm underneeth the turntable if you think its required ?

Any links to building turntables into the table ?

Any thoughts will be most appriciated Smile

Hi Eisenhower,

I build in a turntable a few months ago myself.
Make sure that the rail from the turntable extensions won't move into the turntable direction when you connect a K-track piece to it. Otherwise you can get a shortcut.

Further no problems detected.
Just make the hole diameter in the table 1 cm larger.
Then it is more easier to fine positioning the turntable when connecting to the main track.

Thx Timaximus

Good point in making the diameter 1 cm larger - I'll do that !
The shortcut advise is also most valuable.
