Professor of HO
I was given a 4' X 4' HO scale diorama of a turntable with roundhouse. I decided on a place to put it and tie it in with existing track work.
I had to do some cutting of the diorama along with the existing benchwork to make it fit. Trimmed it down a bit from the original 4' X 4' dimensions.
The area it will fit into has been an unreachable void on the layout.
The turntable is controlled with a cabled control box. I don't plan to do a lot of rail movement in there. More at an abandoned facility.
Quite a bit of work still needs to be done; leveling it, aligning road bed and track, lighting and ground contour and foliage.
