OO Gauge 30, Hornby Turntable, etc
This is my thirtieth video on my work with OO gauge. See part 1 of this series for my reasons for getting into OO gauge, when I already had a lot invested in working in N gauge, and I didn't really have space available for a large, fully operational OO gauge layout. Also see my lengthy series on my N Gauge railway modelling for smaller and more complex scenery, and smaller scale trains running.
This part is the fourth dealing with my third layout, to be made using (mainly) Hornby set track. See the previous video, part 27, for my reasons for wanting to try a Hornby set track layout, when I already had a layout using Bachmann EZ Track. This part deals with further work on my Hornby layout, chiefly with unboxing and testing a Hornby electrically operated turntable.
If you have any questions about anything that I say or show in this video, or you would like more information about anything, please post in the comments below, and I will try to respond.

Hi Ken. I think you are jinxed! So much of what you buy seems to have problems. You probably wish now that you got a refund (why you were only offered a partial refund I don't know - you bought what was described as a new item [as did your supplier], so both of you should receive a full refund/replacement). I think you are the hands-on type of person that prefers to "have a go". Have you seen anything online about how noisy the turntable is? Is it all instances of this model, or are you just unlucky (again)?

This turntable is known to have problems. See, for example, Sam's Trains' videos on his. He bought his from Hattons. His first one jammed and stripped the gears. After some hesitation, Hattons replaced it. But he wasn't comfortable with how the second one operated, so he modified it, removing the contacts from the end of the turntable arms, and wiring the access tracks each with its own power, switched via a rotary switch (which should remove all problems with contact and jamming). He also complained about the noise the turntable made. At least a couple of other KZreadrs have posted re modifying the table to eliminate jamming and/or contact problems. So I did sort of know what I was getting into. I'll see. I might end up modifying mine. But for now I'm going to concentrate on getting the layout set up.
