TCWORLDs Summer Challenge: Turntable Bridge
#6
The two ends are both loco chassis with built in motors. These motors will propel the bridge around a single ring metal ring on the base of the pit. The pickups on the chassis will provide power to the track and to the indexing circuit.

There is an axel in the centre wich simply rests in a hole in the centre of the pit just to make sure the bridge doesn't derail.

The reason I have gone for this method is because a track runs under the pit, and so there isn't room for a motor. Plus It would have been difficult to get my indexing circuit to connec to a motor beneath the layout.

There is a video of it in my gallery as a test, once the circuit is up and running it should run ALOT slower Thumbsup .

I just hope I can get it finished this evening.
