I am not aware of them unhooking the tender and turning each separately. They just drained all the water from the tenders tank and then jacked the rear up. This was only done rarely as most of the time there were other ways to turn these monsters.pappywolf said:They did all that just to turn the engines around ? Are you saying they also unhooked the tender then just turned the engine ? Thats alot of work ! Thanks for the new info !!!
I think Walthers also has a roundhouse that has extensions for added depth.jbaakko said:Walthers has a 130' one you can buy, if thats not enough use CMR. There's another company too, but I cannot find the link...
The other company would be Diamond Scale. The hobby leader in turntables for many years. http://www.diamond-scale.com/place_order.aspjbaakko said:There's another company too, but I cannot find the link...
