Using a Central Valley truss bridge for a turntable?
http://www.cvmw.com/nscale.htm
Reading here .
"The top chord of each truss consists of two flat steel bars connected to adjoining steelwork at either end by large pins, hence the name 'pin-connected' pony truss. Many early twentieth century SP through truss (river) bridges were also of the pin-connected variety, but in their bottom chords"
I've an idea... use the trusses parts to modify the Walthers 130' Turntable to an SP Pony like this?

Anybody think / do this?

An alternative would be to use the etched bracing for girders detail parts from Gold Medal Models to scratch build some. You would probably need a few bridge kits to get enough material.
