easy, walthers, and self install the lighting (seperate part)

I have than one in the back of my head, I just want a second option if one for a good price isnt possible

Ok, I'm completely rebuilding my layout (ugh, what a task) and I haven't a clue what turntable to buy (I know about the walthers turntables, nobody has $300 to spend in my generation) and I've given up and I'm hoping to save (approx. $200) and I want a turntable thats at least 120 feet, now, I have looked at diamond scale, it seem promising, but... I have a feeling that with my patience it will not go well.  Now I did check this site out: http://www.custommodelrailroads.com/ but I don't know any background on their turntables, and I'm never in a mood for scale structures (scratchbuilding anything is beyond my patience, even just the pit) now, is there anyone that I can rely on? (again, I CANNOT afford the Walthers turntable)

Alright, I have physically measured the berkshires, and I would say that at least a 100 foot turntable would be appropriate (believe me, some people are no help with these questions, I have asked many a question like this, and it ALWAYS gets WAYYYY off topic)

With or without major slippage?

I will keep that in mind, I will ponder this for a little bit, but don't back down on the offer to send the cut-off smoke lifters.

Thanks 

I recently Bought an IHC Hudson at a Train Show (Nickel Plate Road) I wanted to make it more prototypical, and add Elephant Ears, http://www.trainweb.org/chris/sttmu20.JPG , but the question is, do I have to scratch-build them or does someone make them?  If scratch build is the way to go, any suggestions?

I'll give all that a try, and does anyone have an idea on how to fix the bent siderod (I can't remove the rod)

I have an IHC Mikado and Pacific, they both could pull six to seven Athearn Passenger cars with the weights in them with ease when I ran them, pre-layout redesign, and now they can't pull four Passenger cars without the weights, without slipping, not to mention on my 28" radius the Mikado Wobbles, (although I think a part of the side-rod is bent) Is there any way to make them stop slipping and pull at least 5 cars with the weights in them, and I have made adjustments, and the track is as level as I can get it.

I found the part but, the wire on the pin that keeps the Main Rod from sliding off (makes the pin wide enough) is gone, can I just put a thin wire on to make it wide... well there's an idea I think I'll do that 

I have an old Hogwarts Express Train Set, and the engine blew the main driverod pin, and I can't find it, does anybody know if there is a substitution part, or if it's possible to get a new part?

Just to Clear the Air, I was in Philadelphia getting repairs done on my USRA Switcher, and I did Ask, It is DCC equipped.

Yeah, a Dual coupler car, I have a few of those for those old freight cars that can't be converted to Knuckle Couplings, and a Freight Car with one Horn-Hook and one Knuckle coupling.

I was wondering what the length of the Bachmann Santa Fe 2-10-4 Overall Wheelbase is.  I read on Steamlocomotive.com that the Santa Fe 2-10-4 was 98.5 feet, but is this accurate to the model?

22 inch
