The Walthers Cornerstone 110' Motorized Turntable in HO Scale is a must - have for any model railway enthusiast. It's the perfect centerpiece for your HO Scale engine terminal. This turntable was where steam locomotives and later diesels were turned around after their runs. Usually placed next to roundhouses, servicing tracks, and backshops at major terminals, it's large enough to turn big locomotives like 4 - 8 - 4 Northerns and 2 - 10 - 2s. It'll look amazing at locomotive terminals, junctions, and anywhere medium - sized steam locomotives need to be turned. Use it as the heart of your servicing facility alongside other railroad maintenance structures. Key features include a 110 - foot (33.5m) length, typical of larger tables built since the 1900s and some are still in use today. It can hold locomotives up to 15 - 1/4' (38.7cm) long. It comes with layout mounting templates for the pit and the Cornerstone Turntable Control Box. The user - friendly, illustrated instructions make assembly a breeze. You'll need to cut a 15 - 9/16' (39.5cm) mounting hole in the layout for installation. With an overall diameter of 16 - 7/16' (41.7cm), it includes a Control Box for use with DC or DCC train control. The new Cornerstone Turntable Control Box offers simple operation and programming, with programmable indexing for up to 99 different tracks, one - touch 180 - degree bridge rotation in either direction, a simplified LED display with adjustable brightness, and can be operated from up to four remote locations with additional Control Boxes (sold separately). You can also control it with a DCC throttle or serial UART controller by purchasing the Cornerstone Advanced Control Module (available separately). It comes complete with a motor and Control Box, and operates on a 12 - 18v AC, 16 - 24v DC power supply (power supply not included). Code 83 rail is installed on the bridge.

First, use the provided layout mounting templates to mark the spot for the pit and the Cornerstone Turntable Control Box on your layout. Then, cut a 15 - 9/16' (39.5cm) mounting hole in the layout for installation. Assemble the turntable following the user - friendly, illustrated instructions. Connect the Control Box and make sure it's compatible with your DC or DCC train control system. If you want to control it from multiple locations, you can buy additional Control Boxes. For more advanced control, you can purchase the Cornerstone Advanced Control Module. When operating, ensure you have a 12 - 18v AC or 16 - 24v DC power supply (not included). When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the motor and the Control Box for any signs of wear or damage. Keep the Code 83 rail on the bridge clean to ensure smooth movement of locomotives. Avoid exposing the turntable to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you're not using it for a long time, store it in a dry and cool place.
