    I am needing a turntable for my EM-1, nothing in N is big enough. The 130ft Walthers is to much, 300+. I was thinking of using an HO Atlas and putting N scale track in. Has anybody heard of this being done?

    Do you want it motorized with indexing? If not Walthers also made an older 120 foot turntable that could be spun by hand. Not as glitzy as the 130 foot one but then you are not paying $300 either.

    How long is the EM-1, or how long is the wheelbase? There are several of the 120' turntable and motorizing kits on eBay now. It may be your best alternative. Someone had a Diamond Builders 100' craftsman kit listed with a reasonable $50 opening bid, but the shipping cost was $32.50! (I actually have a Walthers set ending Saturday evening. <http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=322029933593&alt=web>)
