The only turntable in MSTS is in the Whitepass yard on the original Marias Pass route. However, MSTS has never had an operational TT because it was never hard coded in the sim. As I recollect, the TT is away over in the loco servicing area of the WP yard.

Cheers Bazza.

In the PRR East route there are at least two turntables that can be operated.

I did so.

Regards.

In the first pages of this thread there is some small list of existing routes where the turntables may be automated.

Thanks csantucci! I'll give that list a once over when i get a chance.

Also to RTP

You say that you've got the PRR Easter region running?
If that's so, How do i install the dang thing? I've been wanting to play with that route for a long while now but I never could figure out how to install it.

Re: PRR Eastern Region Route . . . Could you maybe wait for it?
I'm almost done with the complete rebuild of all the track at Philadelphia and the surrounding 4 tiles. Also speed limits have neem installed from New York Penn Station to Washington Union Station.
Signals for NYPenn-Washington have been re-configured, redundant signals removed, phantom signals (4) have been removed The Bergan Tunnels (NYP) have been prototypically signaled. (every half mile according to my blueprints).
I still have signal links to fix at RAGAN. This after I figure out exactly HOW to link signals tho'. http://www.elvastower.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/pleasantry.gif as all the signals at Philadelphia were scrapped for the track re-alignment.
No matter what I tried i couldn't get links to work so I figure I must be doing something wronghttp://www.elvastower.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/curiousPC.gif.

All work is being done with Goku's wonderful TSRE5. I doubt the route will be runnable under MSTS as the Philly tiles all are over 3000 objects. OR handles but with some tile loading stutter and this off a SSHD. I'll start deleting unneeded / unseen objects when trackwork is complete.
I hope to finish before 2018 rolls in . . . but y'all know how route building/modding goes. At least no more annoying MSTS editor crashes. a HUGE incentive to build, build, build because it's actually fun and relaxing the way a hobby should be but could never be if editing with MSTS!

best regards and pardon me for going http://www.elvastower.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/offtopic.gif
