  • In this video, I show you how I'm kitbashing a turntable for the roundhouse at Evanston on my N-scale model railroad. I want to create a turntable that resembles the prototype. The turntable on my layout will be non-functional, because it is merely part of a background scene. I want to show you how I'm kitbashing this turntable, because some day, you may want to kitbash such a turntable for your layout. As always, it's a pleasure to share the hobby of model railroading with you.

    Roy, I really admire the way you compressed the entire roundhouse and surrounding buildings to represent a facility that would take up a huge amount of space. Most people devote an entire section of a layout to a facility like this but you found a way to represent it very well with very little space at all. Outstanding work and the turntable looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Rob

    Hi Roy, I've been following your channel since the beginning and appreciate your work. Since I watch on a Roku TV, I cannot comment easily therefore I've been rather silent. I'm on my phone today. Your selective compression is awesome and I see how much you learned right along with us... Bravo sir!

    Very nice job Roy, you have been able to squeeze in that small space a lot of railroading. Maybe a group of rail fans going for a ride on it. Stay safe.

    That really looks fantastic Roy! Thanks for another great video! I think it would be really great to see people lined up to take a ride on the speeder. I enjoy seeing unique scenes that give the impression that an actual event is happening at that location like a model train show.

    Very good Roy. Your model conveys the wieght and sturdiness of the real thing. This is another good lesson in the art of compression. Something I am trying to come to terms with in my modelling attempts at home. Thanks for the help eliminating the rivet counter in me! Regards Stephen.

    @jerrysmith1929 4 года назад

    Your renovation is going so well and a marked improvement of the previous Evanston. You really ought to show the roundhouse from nearer ground level more often. From that angle the transition between the 3D and 2D parts looks more convincing than the helicopter view.

    There is no doubt where this location is, like you say it's not exact but it certainly captures the feel. Now you need a "Model Railroad Show" sign and a bunch of foamers standing around. :D

    That turntable is very well done, a creative use of a bridge kit! I also quite like the forced perspective on the roundhouse to fit it into a particular spot. The whole scene adds a lot of character to a 21st century railroading scene!

    That looks great! If you ever have the chance, there is a great railroad museum in Danbury CT. They have an operational turntable and cab rides through the yard. I had the pleasure to ride on an ALCO-RS1.

    That is one hell of a job sir. It cool how you use a jar lid for the pit area. It's going to look awesome once the whole thing is scenic.

    Hey Roy. I’ve been watching your videos for several years now and love everything I see. The only thing I would like to suggest is to round off the edges of your turntable. If it was to turn, it looks as though it would snag on the the tracks. Cheers, from mikey. Melbourne, Australia
