Hello.

Im looking for anywhere I could find a OO gauge wagon turntable.

Does anyone make one? Or would I have to scratchbuild?

And any tips on making one? How about wiring it so a loco can go over it?

I have ideas of a planned large goods yard with lots of turntables, something about them appeals to me.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Are you ready to try something different?

Consider using artists' pencils. You already look to have the mortar course coloured, so what comes next is the brick faces. To represent yellow brick I'd suggest something like the following set from Faber Castell's Polychromos range:

https://www.faber-castell.co.uk/products/Polychromoscolourpencilpalegeraniumlake/110121#color-table

A109 Dark Chrome Yellow

A180 Raw Umber

A182 Brown Ochre

A183 Light Yellow Ochre

A283 Dark Chrome Yellow

Give your brickwork a coat of matt varnish (or Dullcote, of course) to retain the starting point.

Apply the light yellow ochre to the brick faces of one panel by using the flat edge of the pencil tip (not the point). You will find that it only colours the brick faces. You can then apply other colours over the top on a random selection of other bricks in that panel. This will give you an idea of the colour variations that you can obtain, and by altering the base colour to one of the others and repeating the exercise you will soon see which combination suits best. If it all goes to pot then just remove the mess with a stiff damp brush (I use an old toothbrush) and start again.

Here is an example of a test I did that might illustrate the principle. This was for red brick and the test panel is the large one to the right

The finished result is protected by another coat of your favourite matt varnish.

OK, using the other available manual that I could find, the back of the manual lists the error codes and directed me to page 49. After reading it, more than once, I tried again to find 'mode' and it came up on handset as an alternative option to programming. I selected 'mode' - two options - CV and POM, chose CV and clicked OK.

Surprisingly it worked and I was able to change both the loco's CV1 to 01 but also the settings (presumably of the Multimaus handheld) and everything worked tickety boo.

Thank you to all, I was unaware that the factory default for my handheld was POM as previous MultiMaus systems were able to programme without setting the 'mode' option but we live and learn.
