Turntables

[NW Mailing List]

Way back in 2002, I wanted information on the Lambert's Point  
Turntable. I had photographed it in the late 50's and wanted to use  
it for our RR.

I communicated with Jim Gillium and others, did lots of research, and  
was lucky to find a set of prints for the identical American Bridge  
Company 1913 Turntable used in an installation in Albuqueque, New  
Mexico.

With those plans, and some modifications,  I was able to fabricate  
two turntables for each end of the RR.  I wrote about it for the  
March/April 2008 issue of Live Steam  and Outdoor Railroading Magazine.

If you want to see the actual work, it's on U-Tube:
