Kato N Scale Turntable DCC

[robertjohndavis]

Hi - Looking for help. Has anyone converted the Kato N scale turntable to DCC? Not the tracks, I know how to do that, but the bridge motor. Thank you! Rob

Do you just want to power the bridge motor using a DCC decoder, or you want to retain the full indexing capability?  Wasn't there a DCC version of that turntable?

I also would like to know how to convert my Walters turntable to DCC as the cost of new turntable from is well over by budget to get from US John from Aus

Full indexing would be ideal. I don’t want to lose functionality.

There might be a way to interface ta decoder's function outputs to virtually "push" the manual turntable's buttons (maybe using relays), but it would be likely easier to sell the unit and find a DCC-equipped one.
