Other miscellaneous pictures
Partially completed turntable and the prototype it was based on.
Bridge built from scratch using Slaters PlastiKard. The well is made from an old enamelled steel drinks tray (50¢ from local charity shop). Rail made from Peco Flexitrack cut in half, bent to shape and held in place with AMI Instant Roadbed
The bridge plugs into the well with a 6.5mm stereo jack which carries the current to the rails. I couldn't work out how to do the wheels on the guide rail so it all fell by the wayside. I'm sure I'll finish it one day.
