Some time ago there was a forum request for information about motorising a Dapol turntable and the good advice given to the member was don't bother. Much better if he bought a proper turntable like Peco, Hornby or Helijan, etc.
The thing is I already had a Dapol kit and plenty of spare time to bash it and the turntable was already planned into my layout, so it had to be done.
I had already made up the Dapol kit so it had to be butchered to provide parts to dress up the mechanism.
