Construction:
Bowser turntables (HO, O and S Scale) are made of 1/2" plywood with a brass
pit wall. The wood is painted gray. The pit rail is installed and the wiring
is complete. The center shaft, bearings and bogies are installed on the
wooden bridge beam. The girder kit screws onto the side of the bridge
beam and creates the appearance of a girder bridge. The motorizing kit
mounts under the turntable and rotates the table. The bridge will accept any
type of track consistent with the scale of the turntable. For this reason, the
bridge track is NOT included with the kit.
Application & Electrics: A turntable
requires a square hole 2 inches larger than the bridge length and at least 6
inches of clearance under the layout. The motor requires an N or HO scale
transformer (only controls the rotation of bridge) to move the bridge clockwise
or counterclockwise. When the bridge is stopped it is locked in place.
The transformer speed selector serves as device to move the bridge very slowly
to allow good alignment of the bridge with each track stub along the turntable
perimeter. This does require a level of skill to be developed by the operator
to ensure that your locomotives traverse the bridge/stub gap gracefully.
Automated Indexing: An automatic indexing
system is an electro-mechanical add-on device (sold separately), that when properly
installed, virtually guarantees alignment of the bridge/stub gap at each stub
location along the perimeter of the turntable. Dallee Electronics manufactures
such a unit. The Dallee "Indexer" can be set for an infinite
number of discrete stops. Since this unit mounts under your layout, it can be
installed without removing your turntable from your layout.
