About this deal

In DCC, are the turnouts made live by the roating rail turning to them, or must a separate connection be made?" to them continues to do so and the isolation continues to avoid shorts during rotation. All you need to be aware of is outlet polarity on the reversed polarity outlets and getting that correct with respect to layout polarity. OK, so here is a photo of the motor I have - needless to say it is totally devoid of any identification. However, this 16 outlet version would be capable of having RM rotate the icon bridge in sync with the real thing, but it would have to "remember" the bridge position between RM sessions.

The square hole is for the square 'pin' on the end of the "Water Crane" to engage in...turning the Wayer Crane operated the turntable... I realise that my loco's (motor or lights) will not operate until the turntable is in the correct position but I prefer it like that." If you The next potential problem for DCC is that half the outlet positions are at reversed polarity to the inlet. This is due to the way the connections are made to the bridge under the turntable and you can look up Brian Lambert for an explanationeffectively make a reversing loop, is a short caused or is the loop isolated by the different positions of the rotating rail as it goes from one turnout to the other?[/i]" If not, what about a 12 volt bulb of some description, like for example what you would find used on a car - side light / stop light / turn indicator light / interior light etc? connection has the polarity reversed (my reference was to a reversing loop situation in my original post), then there is still an isolation issue. But a simple gapping still has the problem of a loco shorting over it as it passes surely? removed or a short circuit will result. What causes this short to occur - from where to where?[/i]"

There was a kit, Turntable Motorising Unit, R.411, which was used to motorise the R.410 Hand-Operated Turntable... From my point of view, I run my trains via Railmaster programs, including the movement of the turntable. I prefer to be as automated as possible so that I can enjoy watching the trains, rather than spend a lot of time and mental energy controlling them myself. But as I say, that is only my personal preference. You will need to feed the rotating bridge motor from the dc supply using the old dc controller. So locate the two wires that run to the motor and remove them form any Ignore the DCC Decoder connections to the hut for the R410 TT, this drawing is for a motorised bridge R070 TT and not the manually rotated R410 version. Kerry, you've now used up your two posts until this time tomorrow. If only you had answered ALL my questions like Q1 & Q4 in the absence of full answers. I shall now have to make some assumptions to fill in the gaps.Ok, I know you can use adjoining pieces which have kinks in them to make it look more like it does on your actual layout, but this post is trying to show how it would be mathematically possible to construct a TT icon which could cater for 16 outlets.... The problem with sound-proofing is that you could then cut the ventilation to the motor...which could then get a bit warm... The Hornby method of conversion is a bit brutal and will invalidate the guarantee. There are a few different ways of converting for DCC and may not require removal of the bridge

is a very nice number when discussing this sort of thing. When a circle is divided into 16 slices, the angle is 22.5 degrees, the same angle seen on a compass. Unfortunately, in the mathematics of the RM layout, there angles are multiples of 45 degrees from the horizontal or vertical. So in the suggested icon above, the new outlets which are at positions NNE, ENE, ESE, SSE, SSW, WSW, WNW, and NNW i.e. the 22.5 degree ones, are converted to fit the RM geometry by connecting to the centre of an adjoining grid cell, making a slight kink as it does so .... I used to produce this 'adaptor', initially as a 'service' to model railwayers, but have found it financially unviable. It seems that that the turntable gear is the same as used in an X.03 powered loco, and that therefore the X.03 worm should work...if it has the length to reach the gear?

I would like to ensure that an outlet spur is only live when the turntable is in the correct position for that The Round Hole part is the one that was desighned for the Electric Motor Operated version of theTurntable. (Only Elecric Motor Operated versions have been made for many years now...including the current issue). That gets me to outlets. Your system will be fine on these where they are not connected elsewhere in the layout. If they are connected elsewhere and that

No - the TT has a 'Split Ring' that reverses the bridge rail polarity once it has passed the half way position in a full rotation. The Square Hole part is the one you would need for a Hand Operated version of theTurntable (Hand Operated versions have not been made for many years now...) If you do not put the Water Crane in position, there is nothing to stop the Square Hole pinion being used with an electic motor drive... Bad news on worms. There doesn't seem to be any way I can extract my existing worm without a special tool, which of course I don't have - and I have tried just pulling. And the plastic worm on the X03 looks too short from Peter's illustration.Hi, Rog (RJ) has covered much of your questions regarding the use of the R070 turntable on DCC. But if I can expand: Using the T/T with DCC comes into two categories; The special worms are also available....just need a worm puller to remove existing worm....and a method of fitting new worm without damaging the motor.... The reason for the round hole is to avoid the turning of the Water Crane by hand straining the mechanism...in theory, the round hole would also avoid the Water Crane spinning around under motor drive and hitting something, or a part of someone! I was planning to use a 2-pole centre-off switch with a supply of suitable voltage, once I have got the motor in and tested to see what it needs.
