I am looking to build the turntable that was at Edgemont SD in the 1940's and looking for plans, pictures, or other information. The same design seems to have been used at multiple locations as I hav

Jack & Michael, Thanks for the reply. I would appreciate a full size JPEG as this is exactly what I was looking for. Looking at Google Earth satellite view, it looks like the TT is still there and th

I turned a few motors on that table in Edgemont, when we still had a roundhouse. One day, they cut it up and the parts sat in a field up by the East end of the yard. It had an air motor. Mike _._,_._
What year was the Edgemont TT cut up? Its surprising that the one at Bridgeport is just sitting and not cut up. Reminds me of going to my Uncles the first time and they said turn at the road that has
