Bachmann turntable

[Maverick1]

Does anyone know if there is a good roundhouse kit that works with the Bachmann turntable?
I know that the degrees between the tracks is important.

I got both Atlas and Walthers Roundhouses and they work very well with the turntable.

one of our members here, i think it was jerrysHO, used an atlas roundhouse with the bachmann turntable. the atlas house has its stalls spaced 15 degrees apart, the bachmann turntable tracks are 20 degrees apart. he had to cut the roundhouse stalls apart, and add filler walls and roof sections between the stalls to get the proper spacing.

here is the link to the thread.

jward is correct, modifications have to be done to make any other roundhouse work other than the Tidmouth shed. I'll have to post more pics when I get time as it's 90% complete.

Have one of these and for a couple years have casually been looking for a turntable to go with it http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/405-39452 "Kibri
3-Stall Roundhouse/Engine Shed Perfect for vintage or shortline operations, this three-stall brick roundhouse holds steam or diesel locos up to 8-5/8" (22cm) long. "

The walls are put together and actually hanging on the wall via a back corner over a nail.

Wonder how you'd measure the track angle, anyone got ideas?

[jward]

from the looks of things, the front wall is angled between the stalls. i asswume the back wall is as well. place the angled joint between wall sections on a protractor, that should give you an idea of what the angle is.
