!! A MOTOR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS KIT !!
The cheap GW370 motor is readily available on eBay., usually with free shipping. Just search your country’s eBay site for “GW370 motor gearbox. 0.6rpm to 2rpm versions are OK
Everything else needed to use the GW370 motor is in the kit.
With a bridge length of 5″ (127mm) this turntable will accommodate most small O Scale Narrow Gauge locos – it will even squeeze on a Bachmann 0n30 Heisler.
Features:
- the standard kit has wooden walls.
- resin cast walls are no longer available. The molds are shot. Stone effect can be achieved with DAS applied to the wooden walls.
- running rail – assembled with a jig. really easy. Honest !
- bridge wheel housings correctly align the small brass wheels onto the rails.
- bridge is a simple girder design with wooden crossbeams to carry the rails. Looks industrial when weathered.
Manual control? No problem! The shaft is 4mm , the same as Meccano. For manual set up, choose from the very many meccano gear options to suit you situation.
The ready-assembled “turning plate” transfers the primary shaft rotation to the bridge and carries power to the rails using sprung plunger contacts – a robust type used by the electronics industry. the shaft is held and pinned in a milled brass “key” – she ain’t slipping!
The turntable features continuous power-routing – not a split ring design. Polarity is changed with a DPDT switch for DC (or DCC) use, or a DCC reversing module can be used to ensure continuous operation of a sound chip. wiring instructions and schematics are included in the instructions.
The kit does not include track rails. There are so many options that it is easier for you to supply and fit your own. The kit includes a centralising jig to assist getting the rails central.
The turntable will require a 5 11/16″ (144mm) diameter hole to be cut into the baseboard. Just use the pit base as a template!
