It doesn't look like it. The hierarchy needs to be rearranged so that the track section that moves and all of its parts are children of the main and not-animated part.

None of the UKFS turntables are made with the table complete as one sub object so right now I have to agree that they will not animate properly. To add to that, none are made in exactly the same way either. Perhaps a line to Tim Booth asking if he can reconstruct them.

Hi Gentlemen,
Thanks for your comments :)
I have sent a PM to Tim and will post here when, or if, I receive a reply.

Regards,

Hi David,

Apologies for the late response, but I've only just started investigating UK routes!

Bristol to Birmingham route uses 5 x ukfs_tt_68ft, 6 x ukfs_tt_65ft and 1 x ukfs_tt_42ft turntables
Somerset & Dorset route uses 5 x ukfs_tt_68ft and 1 x ukfs_tt_65ft turntables
SouthEast route uses 3 x ukfs_tt_42ft and 2 x ukfs_tt_65ft turntables

I have determined which tiles they occupy, but as far as sorting out the rotation or off-set parameters, I'm afraid I have no idea!!

Up to date, I've only checked four routes - the other one is MidEast Plus, which doesn't have any turntables.

Cheers,
Ged

Hello.
I am very happy and I need to tell a big thank you for your work on this TURNTABLE.
I remain very gratefull!

Hello.
Did somebody try to use the Turntable with Steam locomotive with tender?
OR, First, send some messages as 'Engine partialy on the turnTable'. You must place the steam engine in the TurnTable's center and the Tender as you can.
After a good position founded, I try several times but I do not succeed to make a complete turn. The turnTable start but if I stop, I cannot restart. The same message arise 'Engine partialy on the turnTable'
Something to learn for me?
Thank you for your attention.

Hello

Sorry I forgot to add:

OR X 3548 used.

Hello.


Environment TurnTable A1t27mTurntable.s
Release OR X3548

You are right. Steam engine with tender upon the TurnTable. It run. No problem but....
.......several attemps show me that I must place the miidle of steam engine at the exact middle of the turntable. The place of the tender is not a problem.
My engine: 140C 287 without his tender 12.241m
The Tender's lenght of 140C 287 alone is 7.792m (T18B_SNCF)
If you open CONSIST of 140C 287 (140C + Tender T18B) with Shape Viewer 2.2. The BoundingxBox show a length of 12.241m! in place of 20.202m! That is an error indeed! But it seems to have some incidence of the use of the TurnTable.

Hello

I used the same Environment TurnTable A1t27mTurntable.s.

Glad, that it works now , unfortunately not perfect.

Sorry, i was somewhat confused, the BoundingBox from the Shape Viewer shows always only one vehicle, never two ore more (passed some time, i did not use it). Consequently the size of the locomotive was properly shown.

I downloaded the 140C 287, besides a beautiful model. Thus i tried it in SICILIA 1 - 1950, a Steam Route a must for that nice loco, used one of the original consists (140C_287chain.con), which is attached and... bingo, IT WORKS PERFECT with several positions on the turntable (A1t27mTurntable.s).

I also would make a new consist (but with other name), with both vehicles. Try also another locomotive+tender consist.

Good luck and regards

Ernst
