Rick Gibson Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I’ve just picked up the Peco OO gauge turntable from EBay but have no instructions. Research suggests they are quite straightforward but to be safe, is anyone willing to take a few quick photographs of instructions on a phone to upload here? It would be greatly appreciated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejstubbs Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 If you e-mail Peco (info@peco.co) and ask nicely they will probably send you a PDF copy of the instructions. They sent me a copy of the instructions for a Wills kit a year or two back. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to do this too, but I won't get an answer until Monday at the earliest now, so.... I want to remove the Peco Turntable from a layout I bought, and I don't know how it was fixed to the board. The layout has scenery and ballast topping all around the turntable edge and pit base, obscuring some of the detail. Could anyone who has fixed one tell me, is it just glued on the outside flange to the top of the cut-out, or are there some hidden fixings i need to find? If I could get an answer over the weekend then I might get a little work done, unless I find something else to distract me. TIA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium BR60103 Posted August 15, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 15, 2020 The turntable pit is a cylinder with a lip on it. The straightforward way is to glue the lip or to drill it and pin it down. The hole, IIRC, is 12". 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping it's just been glued down. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold ikcdab Posted August 15, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 15, 2020 Normally just glued in. Prise up gently! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Derek 19B Posted August 15, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 15, 2020 My turntable just fits in snugly no glue held in place with the roads leading on and off. Powered by the Peco motorising kit. Derek 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo666 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Exactly that. Glued along the edge just under the flange. Gently prising and it came out all undamaged. Thanks to all that helped. As I'll be converting the layout from late 50s steam to modern era diesel, what to do with (1) the turntable and (2) the hole in the baseboard?

DGO Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Not sure about what to do with the turntable, but for the hole, just fill it in and put a building over the top almost certainly exactly what would have occurred in real life, perhaps a fuel depot or a train washing unit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
