Install your TT track wiring onto the bridge support shaft. Use two slip rings on the shaft-oh, and make sure you insulate the whole.

????? Bachmann turntables are set up to receive it's power through the #4 slot track. It also reverses polarity so no need for special wiring as in the old Atlas tt"s.
Each siding receives power as the bridge lines up with the siding. Do not power a siding to the main without proper insulated gaps.
I don't know what bridge support shaft or slip rings you are talking about.
