    I'm building my benchwork. It is raised and lowered form the ceiling in a common room. I will be closing the bottom. I have 2 depth concerns.
    1) My controls - I can figure that out :)
    2) The Walthers turntable, I don't yet have.

    How much room below bench, do I need, for the turntable?

    Also, these are the deepest things I can imagine. Am I missing anything/

    Thanks

    I have installed the new Walthers n-scale DCC turntable on top of 2 inches of extruded foam board and it does not extend below the underside of the board, so two inches of depth should be sufficient. I do not think you are missing anything else. By the way, I am very pleased with the operation of the turntable.

    Thanks guys. the instructions I found didn't have the depth. I was worried about a large motor.

    I do like that the motor is in the bridge itself :)
