We have built many wooden gallows turntables (model 20007B) of various lengths over the years  for our customers willing to build their own pits!  As more modern locomotives have been introduced to the market, customers requested a more modern "steel" turntable to use with these locomotives. But after discussing requirements with them, few agreed on whether it should be narrow or standard gauge, or even a certain prototype or standard length!!

  So PCGRS decided to build a base unit that would serve all the functions mechanically required in a turntable to which side girders and a deck could be added to configure it to any prototype railroad that one wished to model! Much like a theater stage is configured for different performances!  And it can be done with only the level of detail required by the customer!

 The resulting combination of the base unit with optional side girders and deck makes a narrow or standard gauge armstrong turntable possible that requires the owner to only build the pit for it to set in! 

  The turntable can be purchased with only the components needed by the user to meet their needs. The Base Unit, built from aluminum, is composed of the base, column, bearing, pivot, bridge, and end rollers. This mechanical package allows the user to perform all the functions that are required in a turntable. To this package, one can build their own side girders and decking with rail to represent any possible narrow or standard gauge turntable prototype, since we can cut the bridge to any length required. If the user prefers, we can build all those components in either raw or finished form, with or without rivet detail, and to any girder style required.  Thus, we call this ala carte pricing!
