my new roundhouse

I just picked up a Fine Scale roundhouse from a hobby shop. I haven’t even opened up the box yet. I just couldn’t resist it. The box must weigh 2 pounds! The last FSM kit built was Coopers Garage and it was the most fun of anything before or since.

Now if you can tell me if my Walthers 90’ turntable will index to it, I will begin construction. I can always make the TT look as old as the FSM Roundhouse.[:-^]

IT SHOULD. Just move forward or backwards until they line up. Roundhouse stalls, because of the circular shape, eventually converge. I HAVE 10. (5 stalls is ideal).

INDEXING is tricky - both for the prototype and models. Majority had to be aligned by eyeball & crow bars even when electrically turned. Your RH location will depend on the turntable indexing.
