KATO Track - Electric Turntable
Product Code: 20-283
Production Details:
The Kato Turntable has a nice smooth rotating bridge
which securely lines up with the exit roads. To operate it you can either
press the switch once to move to the next bay, or hold it across to continue
to rotate the bed until you release the switch. The exit roads can be moved
around the bed to suit your own positioning and are powered by the bridge
itself which allows self isolating on the unused exit roads.
The bed
of the turntable is 160mm long which is ideal for European, American or
British modellers as you can fit a nice long diesel or tender engine on the
bridge with room to spare.
The Turntable can also be used with DCC
operation by using a few extra items and a few simple alterations. The best
way to link the turntable to your DCC control is to connect the Table
controller to the DCC system via the green controller socket. Once you have
connected the Table controller you can then use the polarity switch to avoid
short circuits, or you can use one of our DCC40 Auto Reverse Modules which
would simplify the operation.
The shed areas will need to be powered from your main running track if
you are using DCC as you will need to isolate the exit roads from the main
turntable. Eight isolating rail joiners are supplied but more can be
purchased if required, this will avoid the risk of short circuits.
A
green to white connecting plug is supplied in the set but you will need to
cut the white end off to connect it to your DCC module or main track.
Please note: That if you are using the polarity switch method on DCC,
the switch will not guarantee the direction of the locomotive as this is
controlled by the DCC controller and the DCC decoder.
