This is my laws California On30 rail GALLOWS turntable.  Starting with a 14" resin turntable pit I purchased a digital mechanized turning mechanism on ebay .  After it was completed took some fooling around to get the powered turntable to function properly.  I needed to add another set screw to the side of the turning shaft so it runs true and not wobble.

It has nut bolt and washer castings on it. Also has swing poles mounted to the turntable to manually operate it as original but un-working.

The PUGWUMPS BROTHERS RAIL SERVICE Bachmann 2-6-0 On30 loco is modified with antlers mounted to the headlight.  PSC brass tool boxes on the walkways.  Changed the stock stack to the one pictured. Built a wood slat roof cab vent.  Tender has been converted from coal to oil with new top tank.  I also added a hose & hose reel for water suction.  The loco started life as a painted red and green Xmas paint scheme.  I popped all the banding and other items and hand painted them brass.  I also added the vacuum tank on the boiler .
