Scratchbuilding a wagonturntable with easy available materials

[McRuss]

During the late December and early January, I built a wagonturntable from scratch, using 1mm and 0.5mm styrene sheet, some rail offcuts, superglue and plastic cement.

In these Youtube tutorial I will show you the way I did it. During the filming I had some probleme with the autofocus of my camera, and I have to improve how to position the camera.

The turntable is built for my 009 layout, but the method could be used for other gauges and scales. In the past I have built a similar wagonturntable for my N gauge layout.

Excellent build, I really enjoy these construction videos. It's the sort of thing YouTube does best. Thanks for sharing. You might find that a slightly shorter video would accomplish the same objectives and be even better, perhaps you could condense it to 20 to 30 minutes?

I'm looking forward to the next one!
