Hornby R070 00 Gauge Turntable Electric

Product Information

connection has the polarity reversed (my reference was to a reversing loop situation in my original post), then there is still an isolation issue. But a simple gapping still has the problem of a loco shorting over it as it passes surely? It seems that that the turntable gear is the same as used in an X.03 powered loco, and that therefore the X.03 worm should work...if it has the length to reach the gear? Very late X.04 locomotive motors were in fact the X.03 (Later Type) motor specification, but fitted with the Brass two-start worm... IF, I wire one rail to + and one to - then surly when I turn the table by 180 degrees, I will get a direct short. Yes?"

However, this 16 outlet version would be capable of having RM rotate the icon bridge in sync with the real thing, but it would have to "remember" the bridge position between RM sessions.

Kerry, you've now used up your two posts until this time tomorrow. If only you had answered ALL my questions like Q1 & Q4 in the absence of full answers. I shall now have to make some assumptions to fill in the gaps. The next potential problem for DCC is that half the outlet positions are at reversed polarity to the inlet. This is due to the way the connections are made to the bridge under the turntable and you can look up Brian Lambert for an explanation From my point of view, I run my trains via Railmaster programs, including the movement of the turntable. I prefer to be as automated as possible so that I can enjoy watching the trains, rather than spend a lot of time and mental energy controlling them myself. But as I say, that is only my personal preference. The problem with sound-proofing is that you could then cut the ventilation to the motor...which could then get a bit warm... Ok, I know you can use adjoining pieces which have kinks in them to make it look more like it does on your actual layout, but this post is trying to show how it would be mathematically possible to construct a TT icon which could cater for 16 outlets....

effectively make a reversing loop, is a short caused or is the loop isolated by the different positions of the rotating rail as it goes from one turnout to the other?[/i]" If not, what about a 12 volt bulb of some description, like for example what you would find used on a car - side light / stop light / turn indicator light / interior light etc? The Hornby method of conversion is a bit brutal and will invalidate the guarantee. There are a few different ways of converting for DCC and may not require removal of the bridge

There was a kit, Turntable Motorising Unit, R.411, which was used to motorise the R.410 Hand-Operated Turntable... That gets me to outlets. Your system will be fine on these where they are not connected elsewhere in the layout. If they are connected elsewhere and that
