Installation of Custom O-Scale/ O-Gauge Turntable

Here are some pictures showing the installation of a custom built O-Scale/ O-Gauge turntable. The turntable is controlled by a 12VDC motor.

Step 1: Build adjustable bench to hold the 30" custom O-Gauge turntable. The entire turntable structure is 36"x36". 

Step 2: Mount the turntable to the benchwork.

Step 3: Add the top board.

Step 4: Adjust the height of the table.

Step 5: Level and Adjust (a lot).

Step 6: Add the rotating bridge. The bridge is not complete. I still need to build and install a control house and add fencing.
