Turntable for HO Big Boy

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

I like to find out if any kits or plans exist for a turntable that will accomodate a HO Big Boy. The turntable need to be at least 135 ft. long or about 18.5 / 19 inches.
Would appreciate an answer. Thanks

Bowser Manufacturing also makes an 18 inch and a 20 inch turntable, its a kit but looks to be ok to deal with to build… thats more than I can say for their locomotives though so proceed with caution.

I think you should scratch-build a turntable large enough to accomidate this engine. That would make it more fun. Plus, you can make it large enough to hold the big boy and another engine. I have a turntable I scratch-build that will hold two engines at a time.
