Popular Post B15nac Posted October 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2017 Hi Though I would upload a few pictures of my latest build it's a metalsmiths GWR turntable. I've been building this on an off for the last year but I'm nearly there now hopefully I can paint it at the weekend after a good clean. 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 57xx Posted October 24, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 24, 2017 Looks good. Am I right in thinking that one scales out at just over 10"? I'm toying with doing a loco depot on a spare baseboard I have, I could probably squeeze one of those in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B15nac Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 I will measure it when I get home but I should of thought it's about that but with the pit it's a bit bigger Kind regards Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B15nac Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Right the turntable measures just over 10 inches in 4mm scale so you were spot on Kind regards Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B15nac Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 Managed to get some painting an weathering done today I've gone for all over cream which I believe some of these turntables had in late 50's early 60's an I've used some weathering powders to give it the uncared for look I'm quite pleased with how it's turned out Kind regards Neil 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B15nac Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 Couple more pictures I've nearly completed the table now with the rails an wood decking fitted just the locking leavers to make an fit. Surprising what a tight fit some of the bigger engines must of been on these turntables Kind regards Neil 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there a standard depth to the pit, and do you know what it is? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
