Loch Kimmage now has a working turntable its a Kitwood Hills models kit that he made to my size which I believe has been added to the range the track on the table is 115mm long

I have added a markits tender hand brake to use as turning mechanism if it was a real table this will also help once the track is wired up to show which way a switch need to be for track power
