Building a Kitwood Hill Models 45ft Gallows Turntable

I then turned the bridge upside down on the work bench and added weight to insure that the deck would stay flat while the glue dried.





Once everything was dried, the spacers were removed.





The last part of this assembly sequence was to to glue the upper spider to the underside of the bridge.

That's it for now.

Thanks for looking in.

That seems very complicated to me Ron.

Curt, it seems complicated but the instructions have a lot of great photos that show the process.

A turntable is inherently a complex structure with some tight tolerances.  I don't think I've ever built a better designed kit than this one.  Everything went together perfectly and the result works really well.  The instructions are first rate (and when I had a question, it was answered quickly.)

Ron, it's coming together nicely and thanks for all the pictures.

Dave, I agree with you on the quality of the instructions.

Thanks Rick,

I figure if someone else wanted to build this kit the step by step would help.
