Small turntable 25foot in diameter
Hi All. Can anyone please advise me? I am looking for a small turntable, just big enough to take an 0-6-0 Loco, about the size of a Terrier. There was a real life size one at Bembridge on the IOW. Best wishes Kevin

Obviously the deck would have to be altered to accept 00 locos.

RTR or kit? Faller do a wagon turntable, kit, servo controlled. Kitwood Hills Models do a 3.5" or 5" diameter On30 turntable kit. Same gauge as OO. rue-d-etropal.com do a 84mm/3.3" diameter wagon turntable in OO. 3D print.
Other than that I think it's bash an N-gauge/HO/OO one, DIY, or use the Peco O-16.5/On30 one which is 12" long.
Not sure why you would want to turn a small tank engine though. Those turntables you are referring to were used primarily to replace a run around point and track due to space constraints.

Sounds like you are contemplating a circular transfer table. Certainly keeps the wiring simple, as there is no need to change the polarity. What length are you looking at?
If it is kept slim enough no need to go digging holes. I was going to build some wagon turntables (EM, so nothing commercial works), let me see what I can come up with.
