I'd be printing the deck, the files wouldnt be going anywhere so Id be more than happy to make them for other people, but at 45 foot, I dont know would that be enough for more modern locos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only diesels which regularly needed turntables were, of course, the 121s. A 45 foot table is more than adequate for these, plus the majority of Irish steam locos. Many rural stations had turntables of standard 40 foot or 45 foot diameter. In my current meandering researches on Loughrea and Kenmare, I note that tables of this sort of dimension were the norm in Loughrea, Attymon, Headford Junction, Kenmare - and, for that matter, many other places like them. If you plan to make one I will also be interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
