As mentioned in my last blog entry I had purchased a Kitwood Hill 0n30 turntable and modified it for use on my H0 scale layout. As promissed I took some photos of the turntalbe.

To use the turntable on my H0 layout, I replaced the original turntable deck, with a scratchbuild deck, made from 1.5mm thick plywood, in to which I scribed in lines with a distance of about 2mm between them. As a cutting template I used the original deck. I also scribed aditional grooves in to the turntable walls. I also modified the handrails on the turntable deck. First I drilled 0.6mm holes about 5 to 6mm below the middle hole of the handrail stanchions. After these was done I shortend the stanchions, so that they are only a bit higher than the height of the middle hole. I in the upper holes I put in the wire provided with the kit, and in the holes made by me I put in a 0.5mm wire. Then I glued in the stanchions according to the instructions.
