Large Scale Central

Turntable Build

Track and Trestles
#1

OK I have been ask to show the turn table build… I have put pic in my photo bucket of the builds. I started off with .125 AL 5 by 10 sheet cost around $200 bucks, the deck not p[ictured yet is 1.75x 3" rec tubing. the center post is 1" al rod with a 1/2 setp that fits in the bottom of the pit with a 1/4 bolt and washer on the back side to hold it in. On the bottom of the deck will be a soild block of AL with a ream out 1" hole with about .002 clearance to piviot on. The pit and top ring was water jet cutted which runs about $150 hr around here. the sides of the pit were made of extra material from the 5 by 10 sheet… More pics to follow as work gets done. If some one wants to post the pics on here please fill free to do so.
