    Interested in putting a turntable on your layout or module? Want to personalize it or just buy one of those expensive Marklin Turntables? Well if you want to build a personalized turntable, you can find the plans for a turntable in the following magazine back issues.

    Mainline Modeler July 1988
    Mainline Modeler February 1993

    Both show to have, American Bridge Co. Turntable Plans

    Are they both the same or are they different, I can not answer that question. Both issues are still available.

    If you are interested, you can find these back issues still available at
    http://www.mainlinemodeler.com click on the Back Issue icon on the left side of the page.

    Another Turnout Option!

    If price is no issue, and you would like to have your turnout electronically controlled, look at the turnout and accessories that Republic Locomotive Works has for the Nn3 Market! I am sure this turnout would look great in Z scale. After all, Nn3 is Z scale!

    Here is the Link

    http://www.republiclocomotiveworks.com

    http://www.republiclocomotiveworks.com/show_item.php?ItemID=1075 for the turntable

    http://www.republiclocomotiveworks.com/show_item.php?ItemID=1083 for the electronic controls

    http://www.republiclocomotiveworks.com/show_item.php?ItemID=17 for turntable

    Check them out!

    Hello Tim

    I think this Turntable would be very nice on a Logging Layout. Can it be used without electronic?

    On the Mainline Modeler homepage it says:
    "Back Issues On Sale!
    Now through October 31st
    all back issues are $2.50 each.

    After October 31st, there will be
    NO BACK ISSUES AVAILABLE"

    Are they done now or are they extending the sale?

    I placed an order for 18 MM's and 1 NScale AFTER 31 OCT and I did receive the NScale (same publisher), but still waiting for the MM's. Did get the order confirmed.
