Nice turnbuckles, are you making those yourself? From brass tube? I like it!
And that’s the only photo of yours that I see, so I’m looking forward to the rest of them.
Cliff, I too can see only the turnbuckle picture. I thought it was just my computer, a MAC, since other guy’s comments make it obvious they see more than we do. But like everything else he does, the turnbuckles are superb.
Bill,
The original pictures have disappeared. I think J-G moved them or closed his freight shed.
Exactly, I made a bad manipulation, I am going to put back you photos
I put back photos by comment

Thanks to yo
Truss rod and turnbuckles is in brass. Turnbuckles is in tube brass of 3mm and filed on both faces
Here, you can see the two lowers abutment
I realized a span lock, (assembly but no fixed), of which think of it - you?
That’s nicely done.
Yea, it is. That is one detail I need to work out if I ever build the HO turntable I have in mind. Yes, its a Devonish project.
That lock is a very clever idea. Simple but effective. I like the way you angled the corners of the slide so that it will engage the fixe portion and pull the gallows track into exact alignment.

And then some. The sliding plate is great, but the linkage to operate it is top notch!
That’s how it is done J-G. Here is the lock on my club’s 2 foot gauge turn table…
Thanks to all for your comments.
Some updates:
Today realization of the spider wheels. A great moment of solitude.
Assembly temporary of the “bearings”

Wow nice. You have amazing talent. Wish I had that kind of talent.
That is a very good looking turntable.

Well done! I have helped to build a real one, yours sure looks the part!
Excellent craftsmanship J-G. I’d love to have that on my layout.
I hope you keep the little white bear under control…he looks dangerous.
That is one fine piece of craftsmanship.
