Living with a non-Hornby Dublo (Marklin) turntable and circuits 6 and 5 power improvements.

Hornby Dublo did not make a motorised turntable. The choices for someone wanting a remotely controlled turntable could be to build one, motorise a Hornby Dublo one or reach back to the old Marklin 3 rail turntable. About 20 years ago this is what I did. About 6 months ago it broke down. After hours of work it is operational after a fashion. This was also an opportunity to fix a trackwork problem involving the link between two circuits, the stabling area and the mainline.

Very interesting video. Thanks for all your hard work.

Pleased you are enjoying it. It doesn't feel like hard work believe me.

fascinating footage.
by coincidence i bought a maerklin turntable at the Glen Waverley scout hall swapmeet in 2004.

This turntable was bought about then too and originally restored to working order by a fellow in Ashburton. Not a 1000 miles from Glen Waverley. I can't remember what I bought it for but it was expensive.

I have a video on my channel about working principles and servicing of the turntable if you need to look into it again at some point in the future. Happy railroading.

Thanks. A couple of us have watched your video on the turntable and a few others. It's great to see some other three rail content.
