The Salem Rail Yard...
Like it a lot Jim, how can one go wrong with an old engine, rust, weeds and a set of tracks. ;)

Count me in as being interested. That sounds too good to pass up. Thanks, Tom.
Here it is. This is how the IYO railway's "turntable" works.
A train heads toward the terminus at Dogo Onsen.

1) The train stops at "A", just before the switch for the crossing to go outbound. The cars are uncoupled.

2) The engine continues to the Pivot point, a special pad between the rails. A pivot is lowered from the engine and it raises it off the tracks.

3) The men push the engine around 180 degrees, then retract the pivot.

4) The engine is driven onto the crossing track and the cars are pushed down to just past the switch.

5) The engine is reversed and is re-coupled to the cars.

To bad the only thing they did to keep up Old 52 (2-6-0) was paint the number on her cab.
