Now for some final weathering and the details. It's all about the details.  As you can see there is room for outside tracks.

2 geometry questions:
  1.  What size turntable are you planning?
  2.  What's the distance from the center of the turntable to the roundhouse doors?


(Getting roundhouse/turntable geometry right can be a little tricky, particularly making sure that each door is equidistant from the turntable center.)

Hi Dave

It is all set-up for the Walthers 90 foot turntable number 933-2849.  I designed everything to the template that came with the turntable. So we are about to see if the template is any good!
