Title: bachmann turntable/roundhouse

Is there a round house available the would be easily modified to pair with the Bachmann turntable.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thank you.

Yes, I knew about that package.   But I already have the electric turntable.   I just need a roundhouse.   I don't think it is available separately is it?
   Thanks.

The Bachmann turntable tracks are 20 degrees apart. So you could use a roundhouse with stalls seperated by 10 degrees, such as the Walthers Cornerstone roundhouse, and run a dummy track to every other stall.

If the Tidmouth Sheds had an electric turntable, I would be all over that! I love that the doors are spring loaded, and open and close automatically with the engines.

I have installed the turntable on my layout and after much breaking in, tracks are starting to line up a bit....at least it is usable.
  I would like to install the handrails on the deck itself.  But it comes with tiny little plugs that fill the holes where the handrails are to be mounted.  I have tried prying them out with a hobby knife and pulling on them with needle nose pliers.  But nothing seems to grasp them.  What is the correct method to remove the plugs that are preventing me from removing the supplied handrails.    Thanks.

I used a sharp of Exacto knife classic # 11.  press into plug edge and pop free.
