Have fun putting that turntable together Steve.  I did one in N scale years ago.

Stay cool and run steam......

Attached are my final photo's of the turntable.  I painted the pit using a airbrush, and hand painted the rail and ties.  The instructions said not to and also not to paint the gear around the perimeter of the pit, but I did anyway without any problems.

On the bridge, I painted the steel girders first with a coat of Polyscale Rust, then with Vallejo Chipping Medium, and a coat of dark grey.  I then scrubbed off some of the dark grey to expose the rust.  The deck I painted railroad tie brown.  I then used some pastels to add more weathering.

To the pit floor, I applied and Alcohol India ink solution.  I applied some pastels to the pit walls.  Still have some more to do.

Hi Greg,

Glad you liked the grungy turntable.  Thanks for you nice comment.

Turntables are SUPPOSED to be grungy...!!

I know, the more grunge the better

The track work is 98% complete on the SP Railroad.  There are a couple of spurs that still need to be installed when I know which structures are going in.  Attached are recent photo's of the nearly completed track.
