Can anyone direct me to a website for the Fleishman ( I believe that is the correct spelling) turntable?

Does anyone have any information on this turntable?

Thanks for your help…Ken

I tried a different spelling. Here is but one link…

Reynaud’s is a dealer. The Fleischmann home page is www.fleischmann.de

Has an English-language option. Not the easiest site to navigate, but more informative than the dealer site.

I have the HO turntable. In 40 years in the hobby, I have yet to see the perfect turntable, and this one is no exception.

Thanks fellas.

Rails5: What problem(s) do you have with it?

I have one and it’s great. The auto Indexing feature is wonderful. The only draw back is that it was difficult, but not impossible, to find a roundhouse that matched up to the indexing for the turntable.

Use any HO roundhouse, but setback the stall aprons with curved radial tracks if that will get them aligned. The more setback you have, the less curvature you’ll need, and many roundhouses were set back the distance of a large steam loco, minus tender.
