The bit that jars with me is that the end of the turntable would allow a loco to drop off it. In reality, there would be a short stub-road with a buffer stop of some sort, so that if a loco overshot, no real damage would be done.

Hi Alcazar,

Yes I agree with your comment. I plan to do something like a very low surrounding wall or sort of raised bed around the table and a buffer stop on a piece of rail to prevent overun. I just have not got around to doing it yet until I have another look at the motor drive. I may also add a couple of extra storage tracks off the turntable as well. All in good time, it is still a WIP
