Ken has shared his monstrous turntable HO scale track plan. I really like what he has done.
You can see the picture’s of Ken’s turntable HO scale track plan.
If you’re diving into the world of HO scale turntable track plans, you’re in for a treat. Take your time and think about how you want to incorporate a turntable into your layout. There’s something special about watching an engine glide onto the turntable and rotate to a new track. It adds a dynamic element to your layout, and let’s be honest—who doesn’t love a bit of operational fun?
Now, when it comes to designing your track plan, don’t rush. Like with all aspects of model railroading, there’s no need to sprint to the finish line. You’ll find that tweaking the plan as you go is part of the joy. Perhaps you’ll start with a simple branch line connecting to your turntable, but before long, you’ll be dreaming up additional sidings, maybe a roundhouse, or even a full maintenance yard. That’s the beauty of it—your layout can evolve as you do and that’s what Ken has done.
So, take it slow, enjoy the process, and soon enough, you’ll have a turntable track plan that’s both functional and a joy to operate
