Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Motorized 110' Turntable - 933-2851 creates a fully operational centerpiece for an HO scale engine terminal, roundhouse, locomotive servicing facility, or railroad museum scene. This assembled motorized turntable represents the 110-foot tables installed by many North American railroads from the 1900s onward as locomotives became longer and heavier. The 110' (33.5m) bridge accommodates HO scale locomotives up to 15-1/4" (38.7cm) long, while the complete turntable measures 16-7/16" (41.7cm) in overall diameter. Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale railroad facilities. Turntables were a key part of steam-era engine terminals, allowing locomotives to be turned while also providing access to roundhouse stalls, maintenance shops, storage tracks, and servicing facilities. Although their numbers declined as diesel locomotives became dominant, turntables remained in service at some railroad shops, terminals, and museums. The Walthers Cornerstone Motorized 110' Turntable combines this prototype function with motorized bridge movement and programmable indexing for realistic model railroad operation. Operate an HO Scale 110' Motorized Turntable The Walthers Cornerstone Motorized 110' Turntable includes operating features designed for a functional HO scale locomotive terminal: Fully assembled and motorized HO scale turntable 110' (33.5m) scale-length turntable bridge Typical of turntables installed by many railroads from the 1900s onward Accommodates HO scale locomotives up to 15-1/4" (38.7cm) long Fits many average-size HO scale engine terminals Motor and Cornerstone Turntable Control Box included Control Box can be used on layouts with DC or DCC train control Programmable indexing for up to 99 different tracks One-touch 180-degree bridge rotation in either direction LED display with adjustable brightness Code 83 rail factory-installed on the bridge Layout mounting templates included for turntable installation Additional 933-2320 Turntable Control Boxes can provide operation from multiple locations, sold separately Optional 933-2321 Advanced Control Module provides additional DCC and advanced control options, sold separately Compatible with Walthers Cornerstone Turntable Power Supply 933-2858, sold separately Overall diameter measures 16-7/16" (41.7cm) Programmable indexing makes the 110' Turntable an operational feature rather than simply a scenic structure. Approach tracks, roundhouse stalls, locomotive storage tracks, and servicing areas can be programmed for repeatable alignment, allowing locomotives to move between different parts of the engine terminal while recreating an important prototype railroad operation. Build a Complete Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Engine Terminal The Motorized 110' Turntable is a natural centerpiece for Walthers Cornerstone engine and maintenance facilities. Walthers specifically recommends combining the turntable with compatible engine-terminal structures such as the Modern Roundhouse, Machine Shop, Modern Coaling Tower, water facilities, ash-handling equipment, and sanding facilities to develop a complete locomotive servicing complex. Combine the turntable with Walthers Cornerstone railroad structures to expand the surrounding yard and railroad property. Browse HO Scale Walthers Cornerstone buildings for additional structures, while Walthers Cornerstone accessories and details can help complete service tracks, locomotive facilities, and surrounding railroad scenes. For building and finishing the structures surrounding your turntable installation, browse Fusion Scale Hobbies' model railroad and hobby paint for concrete, track, structures, soot, grime, and realistic railroad weathering effects, along with model building glue and adhesives for assembling roundhouses, shops, and other engine terminal structures.
