50’ Cowan Sheldon turntable etched kit.
These were used by many pre-group railway companies, who provided the turntable well using locally sourced material and minor components such as deck planking, rails, handrails and supports. The turntable kit, well and detailing parts are available separately to enable the modeller to build the finished turntable to represent a particular prototype.
The turntable kit is etched in N/S and includes a new “floating” drive system, centre bearings, wire, etc. and is priced at £45.00.
The vacuum formed well, which can be detailed with embossed plastic sheet to represent brick or stone construction, together with preformed bullhead rail and chairs is available at £22.00.
Handrails and supports varied considerably. Some used ball headed stanchions carrying one or two handrails. These have been produced as finely turned brass components in packs of twelve, priced at £6.50 for the single and £8.50 for the double type.
