They were especially important in depots where space was limited and directional running was required for efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn model form, a turntable adds both operational realism and visual focus, often becoming the centrepiece of an engine shed scene.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAssemble the turntable kit and install it flush with your OO gauge track layout. Manually rotate the bridge to align with incoming and outgoing tracks. Use it in conjunction with engine sheds, sidings, and depot buildings for realistic locomotive servicing operations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DAPOL","offers":[{"title":"Hobbyco","offer_id":40428592660681,"sku":"10071861","price":20.69,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/9803\/5810\/files\/24e03ee5ed0b488b85759a73539922f7.png?v=1782363893","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.com.au\/products\/dapol-oo-turntable-manual-10-kit","provider":"JB Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
