Dear All,
This turntable has 7 track stalls across 180 degrees,
which yields 25-5/7 degrees, or 25.7143 degrees per stall.
It would help to have a sectional curve the same number of degrees (25-5/7)
to facilitate having more than one approach to the turntable from the main track.
The only multi-track approach that would work for now would be 180 degrees apart.
A modeler would need to cut sectional curve track to 25-5/7 degrees
or use flex-track to create a run-around track:

Another useful accessory would be a N scale roundhouse
(or expandable roundhouse) with 25-5/7 degree stalls.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Joe Satnik
I would like to second Joe's proposals, especially the roundhouse.
Joe what n scale roundhouses are available and how close are they to 25.7°?
ACY,
Don't know right off hand.
Walthers on-line shows only a few things N turntable related, not much help.
Perhaps a full print catalog would have more.
A competitor has interesting turntable approach track kits.
Another competitor's 2003 catalog (on my shelf) shows
a 15 degree turntable and a 3 stall roundhouse.
I suppose you could skip the middle roundhouse stall
if you had a 4-2/7 degree curve to add to the 25-5/7 degree stall to make 30 degrees.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Joe Satnik
