HO turntables

[RobertInOntario]

I was thinking of adding a turntable and possibly a roundhouse to one end of my small 1x4' Inglenook switching layout. So, basically, my loco could switch out a selection of freight cars and when it's done, it could reverse onto the TT and then into the roundhouse.

How tricky is this and are there any wiring problems I should be aware of? Ideally, I'd like to keep the wiring as simple as possible. I also think that setting up, i.e. positioning the TT on my layout could be tricky in terms of lining up the track & also positioning the TT at the correct height.

I also don't mind hand-cranking the turntable as opposed to having a motorized/electric one.

My layout is based on Southwestern England so I'd like to keep things looking as British as possible.

I'm thinking of either this Atlas turntable (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://georgestrains.com/product/4417-atl-turntable-manual-ho/">http://georgestrains.com/product/4417-a ... manual-ho/</a><!-- m -->) or this Peco (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://railsofsheffield.com/turntable-nb55-JJJA6528.aspx">https://railsofsheffield.com/turntable- ...

Thanks in advance,

Rob
