What can be done to Atlas Turntable
A few years back I did an HO scale turntable by Malcom Furlow, raising the track to make a pit and using wood construction. Now that I am in N-scale I thought I would do another but less complicated one.
Some people asked in another thread if the Atlas was prototypical and the answer is yes a few had full decks on them. So, my LPB's set to work and came up with the following. The loco on the table is a new used GP 38, purchase from the BN and is not long out of the paint shop. The engineer is talking to some of the empoyees that work the table about his first run on the new loco to the WC & T. A couple of dudes came out of the speeder/tool shop across the way to have a look at the beast.
Following are 6 pictures of it to show that the Atlas turntable does not have to be a blaw peice of equiptment. A little plastic shapes and an imagination and bingo a nice center peice.
