if you reverse the wires on the kato table, you'll short out. the bridge connects both sides so outside rail is always outside rail, inside rail is always inside rail regardless of what side of the table you're on. both rails across from each other need to be the same.
They are a bit pricey, but worth it in my opinion. It's reliable, indexes properly every time, and for me, works with the rest of the Kato Unitrack on the layout. I'm going to weather it, too because nothing in railroading looks shiny for long!
Sure needed this video! Just found a Kato turntable and I'm gonna hook up with my NCE system! Very helpful. Have you had to make any wiring changes since this video?
Yes. I haven't had any operational issue with it. it always indexes correctly and with the AR1, i never have a short. it's important to notice how the electrical is blocked in quarters so you isolate the rails correctly. make sure the panels that go around with the track leads seat properly in the rests. there's a metal contact strip that powers the bridge and if the panels are set correctly the bridge will get hung up.

Very nice. Love the changes your making to an already awesome layout. Thanks for sharing!
Great addiction to the Layout. Bob
the turntable powers the track segments - so you have to reverse the wires on the tracks coming off of opposite sides

Great information for a novice N Scaler like me. Thanks for sharing...Anthony
Those KATO turntables are nice but kinda pricey. Looks great on the layout. Thanks for sharing. Dave

Nice, thank you.

Nope, the turntable wiring hasn't been changed.
Very nice. We're seriously thinking about adding one of these (now in 2021). Are you still sold on this Kato turntable? Thanks!
