PECO HO LK55 TT-Kit ?

[MarkInLA]

Hey rails,
I might be buying it.
I think, just form general talk, most concur this kit version comes out as well as its built up version, and, as a totally completed item it works quite well and does a decent job of depicting a TT in the US (It being Brit).. In other words:
It's good to go (can always be visually modified as well [add booth]). It's a good MRR product; does the job it should do.
The deck holds level throughout its spin/radii-track selection, and is properly 'electrically ready', motorized or not..

Here's my question: Does the kit come with metal Peco (say, code 83) NS rail ?
I'm guessing 'yes'; they slide in; and, what I see in the promo-pics are dark plastic guard rails already part of the deck piece.
Does anyone have any warnings ? That's cool too..
Thanks, M

The details show 327mm so 12.8".. which is pretty short (about 92' in HO scale) which will comfortably hold a diesel locomotive, but will be too short for most mid-size/large steam locomotives.  (I kept rounding down calculations since I wasn't sure if "327" was pit width or deck length.

I had a redundant question here and so decided to delete it...I'm sure this TT would accept the smaller engines I have.
Thank you for heads up on that !!

I had a friend re-build my HO PECO turntable kit and remove the large British drive wheels to "Westernize" it. The result is a nice simple turntable which can handle a Bachman 2-8-0 nicely and possibly a Bachmann 2-8-2 or 4-6-2. Remember 90' turntables were very common in the US. It also has a built in split rail contact so there is no need for a separate reversing accessory/circuit even with DCC. I added the manual drive kit to be operated from the facia and it's a rugged, simple turntable.

I will attach a photo or two of the yet to be installed turntable.

BTW, I also have used a PECO N gauge turntable when I modeled in the gauge and found it to be great quality.

Good luck,

Barry
