FYI, there are two working turntables in the ATSF Hereford route. The turntables.dat file is attached here as a .zip:
Attached File  ATSF Hereford turntables.zip (333bytes)
Number of downloads: 588
(EDIT: the turntables are near Clovis and Amarillo).
Cheers,

This may have been mentioned, both LHRV routes [LHRV Ver4 (1968) & LHRV-1940] have turntables.

I have set up the UK Black Country 1 route to gave operational turntables (there are seven a1t27mturntable.s).

I am getting the message "Rotation cannot start. Check throttle, speed, direction and control mode" when positioned centrally on the turntable with a steam loco and tender and using CTRL-C and ALT-C to turn it. Can anyone help?

Successfully got the turntables in the Feather River route working using the provided info from midneguy :sign_thanks: it took me 2 days until i realised that i had to leave the top line empty in the turntables.dat file, once i did that all worked fine. great work to all concerned. :clapping:

Reverser needs to be set to 0 or neutral.

You must be either in manual or explorer mode (no auto mode). Throttle must be at zero, speed at zero. Reverser at 0 (I'm not sure if -0 works).

I have really enjoyed this new addition to OR. I got the turntables in the USA-NJC route to work, but even after doubling the volume of the wav file I still can't hear any sound when operation the tables. Has anyone verified that the sound is working with the OR dat files??
