Revolving layout. Cross post from Modelling tips etc

[ianp]

I'd like to build a small circular layout in HOm gauge, depicting a French rural scene or village with a train line running round it. But what I'd really like to do is place the entire layout (about 80cm in diameter) on a revolving platform (a bit like a microwave platter), so that at an exhibition the entire layout would revolve slowly to give viewers a better view of everything in the scene. Has anyone ever seen this, or done this, and how? Any suggestions about how I could find and then operate such a platter or turntable? Thanks.

Its possible to get lazy-Susan parts, and even motorised turntables, but you also need to take power to the turntable, and control. I suspect mains power is possible, then some sort of wireless controller removes the need for additional contacts.
