The Model: Just as in real life, the turntable is sunk into a trough and incorporates all the essential details. The basic turntable unit has 6 entry/exit tracks and 4 blank ends. The entry/exit tracks can be altered around in 15° angles to suit, and by using the turntable extension set 6155 can be extended to up to 24 track connections if desired. FLEISCHMANN have developed this HO model from the prototype of a 16 metre turntable. This turntable has one big advantage, in that it needs so little space and therefore suits smaller layouts. Even so, it can accomodate locos with an wheelbase of up to around 170 mm, even though the overall length over buffers in some cases is much larger.

Based on: The "thinking" turntable: When using the model turntable, the current is fed into the layout via the rotating bridge section. The turntable "thinks", so that when you select the side of the bridge using the rotating switch, the current will flow in that direction. Only the track lined up with the chosen side of the bridge will be fed with power. By using this "thinking" turntable then, a loco can be stored without current on one siding, and simultaneously a loco can be run on the opposite track lined up with the turntable.
