After discarding the rubber mat, I measured a .080 lip around the platter. So I used .080 styrene to make a "bridge" across the turntable, leaving a gap in the center for the shaft. I then glued a piece of flex track to the styrene. I made it 15" long, overlapping the ends about an inch, to accommodate the same length locos as the other, real, turntable.

A view from a distance, now I needed to to some benchwork to bring a track to the turntable.
