- Thanks to everyone who answered my last question about Con-Cor
- superliners. Can't wait to get started working on mine....
-
- I've got two new questions. I'm building three near-NMRA standard
- modules (Using Code 83 track instead of the standard Code 100 track)
- and would like to have a turntable on it. Since I've decided that
- scratchbuilding is out, I've been looking at commercial models. The two
- that seem to be available are the Bowser (14", 16", 18") and Heljan
- (14") kits. The Heljan kit can be had for $50-$60 while the Bowser
- is about twice that. Has anyone installed either of these on a module
- that got bounced around a lot? Are either rugged enough to stand up to
- module transportation?
-
- Second, I'm using Shinohara/Walthers turnouts. These seem to route power
- depending on which way the turnout is thrown. Is this correct? Any
- suggestions on block wiring a yard lead using them?
