Durango Turntable Is Fully Operational!

The turntable for the Durango Yard has been installed since track was installed.  However, it had not been powered, or indexed for the new track locations.  This project has now been completed, and trains are able to be turned on the table.  I relocated the New York Railway Supply (http://nyrs.com/) indexing system from my old layout.  I constructed a housing for the keypad, which is located on the fascia near the turntable itself. The controller is mounted on a shelf located under the layout.  This allows access to the controller for re-indexing when necessary.

Westside Model Company D&RGW C-25 375 being turned on the completed NYRS turntable in Durango.  The model has added details, and was painted, lettered and weathered by the author.  The C-25 has a Tsunami DCC decoder and working headlight.  It has just emerged from stall 10 in the Durango Roundhouse.

Another view of D&RGW C-25 375 on the Durango turntable.  Note that the roundhouse roof needs to be secured!

The PTC Model III turntable controller as installed on the author's D&RGW and RGS layout.  The keypad is located in an angled housing, making it easier to read while standing in the aisle, and the controller unit sits on a shelf under Durango.  Incidentally, the shelf also houses the NCE DCC system and power supply.
