... --- N Scale Roundhouse Turntable Bridge Track ---

On this page the turntable bridge track is put in place.

The Rust-Oleum was in a spray can.

In the picture above I hadn't painted the tie plates black yet. Don't forget that this is N Scale and if you are looking at the picture above on a computer monitor the parts are a lot larger than real life.

In the picture above you are also seeing the pit wall has been slid down over and past the bottom on the pit. Ignore that for the moment as that will be covered on the next page. I didn't have a picture from the bottom of the screws that hold the bridge track so used this later one.

The picture above was taken when I had printed and painted the bridge track but hadn't installed the stepper motor and turntable supports yet. It was a trial run to see how the bridge track fit the pit bottom. So you could mount the bridge track earlier in the build but you would have to remove it temporarily while attaching the upright supports.

I feel that there is more bridge and pit detail than what you will find on most commercial turntables. At this point the pit wall has to be installed, an arch still has to be added to the bridge along with guard rails and ladders down into the pit itself.

The print files for the bridge decking are on my thingiverse.com account ( HERE ).

You can find all the turntable files on my thingiverse.com account ( HERE ).
