The Mogollon Railroad

[nachoman]

Thanks, everyone. I spent a little extra time on the turntable bridge last night sanding down the ties so that the rails are on the same level as the approach track. I got it as close as I could. It's not perfect, but I think it will be good enough. If I had the tools to make the turntable bridge and shaft perfectly square, these adjustments would not have been necessary. It's only 8 inches long, so the bridge is simply a block of oak with a hole drilled in the center, with a brass tube shaft riding in a bronze bushing that is pressed into a hole in the pit floor made from 3/4" particle board. I plan on motorizing it somehow, just not sure how yet.
