Brian's Trains

I still need to complete the railings on the other side of the bridge deck.

This is just the beginning.

First track goes down.

The track to the custom turntable is almost complete.

Mainline switching using Atlas O #5 switches.

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.

Millhouse River Studios recently released a new transfer table.

A basic L-Girder design with 1/2" OSB top. The L-Girder design allows for easy customizations later.

Finally upgraded my Lionel Legacy base station and remote to the latest 1.51 software.

I still need to come up with a better railroad name.
