Suitable to take 0-6-0 locomotives as used at Bembridge on the IOW

Hi All.  I have been on the hunt for a short turntable for one of my shelf Layouts. Alas I am out of luck and it looks as if I am going to have to build one, that’s a joke, as I haven’t got a clue where to start. Let alone do the wiring.Has anyone out there ever built one ? Best wishes Kevin 

I belive an IOW station had a short sector plate, or is it a figment of my {too much cheese at bedtime} imagination¿

Hi Douglas.  Thank you for your reply. Not being one to argue about something that I haven’t seen myself. But there is an online photo which shows the device, and it looks like a turntable to me. Best wishes Kevin 

I read in an old modelling magazine re this .

I cannot remember which but it was old

 Basically it was a surface mounted disc of ply with the track approaching on a slight rise..

I wish I could remember more perhaps someone else can help

Hi Rob.    Thank you for your reply. It will be on the lookout, but the lockdown is getting in the way.Best wishes Kevin 

Hi Kevin
You could check out that other well known forum for IOW layouts, Bembridge comes to mind.  As I recall, it was indeed a turntable, but was actually operated as a sector plate, but that might be my memory playing tricks.  I searched for lots of information on turntables when I was planning for one of my own…
