The second generation of Legge Lane's turntable moves to the new apartment and a smaller diorama footprint. A new base was needed and the Dremel Trio tool began to pay for itself in cutting the well for the second Peco kit.
I had cut up an old hardwood framed futon base and this came in useful for the new baseboard. The first idea I came up with was to tap three holes in the base of the turntable well and pin down the flexible base for the motor.
three tapped holes in the base took appropriate bolts locked to brass bars screwed to the baseboard frame.
The turntable shaft was then threaded through a rigid U shaped brass channel and the rig tested. This seemed to work quite well but I was not satisfied as the setting that worked best seemed to cause binding between the turntable and the well.
So, yet another solution was sought but this will have to wait until I can take some photos on my return to France. To be continued. . . .
