Good job Jenny
Well done you kept at it and like the joint .The gear change looks better and speed is not all....excellent for beating the problem
PAUL POWER thanks!
Hi Jennifer ,great fix on the turntable ...
Jennifer, you are a great problem solver. Very well done.
Nicely solved, Jenny.
Ok, this video has been helpful as I’ve gotten a dappled turntable kit but didn’t know how to power it, thanks for sharing, the underside and how it went together was enough for me to get started,
Cheers K.J
Kingston Junction you’re welcome!
Well done. Your like me always hanging on to bits and bobs, you never know when they will come in handy.
Spot on! Your engineering skills are impressive
Chaz Walsh many thanks!
Good job, Jenny.
Like your new introduction for your videos. Great work!
Dale Saylor thanks!
A flange under the deck would be good, machano did have a selection of flanges that took a grub screw, file a flat on the drive to take the grub screw and hey presto!
In this day and age you would have thought they'd at least change it over to a D type shaft... Wouldn't be difficult or cost them much to change it either. Good video showing how to over come the challenges of a railway modeller!
Pete's Hobbies thanks! Yes and I totally agree.
A most creditable display of your, undoubted, engineering skills, I shall subscribe and follow , grubby fingernails and all, for all in the future - great stuff, thanks
Henry Taysom thanks and you’re welcome.
agh! Well done Jenny. Turntables! I had a hand operated one then upgraded to a motorised one. Of course I couldn't get it to work. On to manufacturers helpline and others. In the end considered throwing it out but took it to a local repairer and thus forfeit my warranty. It was a manufacturers' fault! and all sorted tho a bit noisy...
putting solder on it. very handy tip to know, i would not have thought of that. turned out great Jenny, once you fixed the gearing.
sparky107107 it just changed its shape so it would lock in place and the heat helped it to melt its way in tight.
Jenny why don't you invest in a Locomotech motor for your turn table it works fine for me you can dcc it as well, Also may i suggest using Devcon to secure the 4mm shaft in the turntable. hope this helps Regards Alan
hi jenny had the same problem with peco turntable eventually abandoned it and used u beefed up airfix une using a stepper motor and a raspberry pi
great job jenny,you certainly know your stuff,in peace.jpj
John Johnson thanks!
TBH - now you have re-engineered the drive mechanism, you could add a motor onto that handle mounting plate with a small potentiometer type control knob.
paredding it is a possibility, but I rather like the simplicity of the hand crank.
Excellent work around. One has to have a working turntable.
Jenny - Just subscribed from upstate NY, USA. Great site - love your methodical approach to troubleshooting, fab and testing.
From my experience: "that should be easy to fix"... two day later: "Wow, that was a bear!

Comforting to know that I'm not the only one that has to repair thingson their layout!
Awsome! I love Meccano too! :)
Jenny, You'll have a plane ticket @ the airport so U can come repair mine. LOL LOL LOL!!
Don't ya jus luv ur toys when they break down. Well my Ex used to say,. Send it back or Call the repairman!!! I would just crack on pull up my Big Boy pants and get to the repair.
Good for you. So very very much pleased to see another experienced modeller that isn't be afraid to dig in and Get R Done.
James Carryl thanks!
I had a similar problem with my Peco turntable which was electrically driven, I tried lots of fixes but in the end I relegated it to the hidden fiddle yard and I now turn it by hand.
Leslie Bird they can be very awkward.
Arrrgghhh!! Please cut the tails off the cable ties! 😆 😆 To make this easier all round you could install a motor on the drive shaft?
RMLectronics UK welcome to the inner circle of pedantry. We have cookies!
Jennifer E. Kirk 😂 😂
@@rmlectronicsuk2410 Well said RML, the work with the zip ties is sloppy. Pedantry?
impostor smith I wasn’t always “a Professional” but having once erected a 60’ temporary communications mast and aerial and then had to take it down to cut off the tails, scorned by the “boss”(loosely) I learnt my lesson!
Jenny, if TT was binding on the pit wall why didn't you try some things like sanding the wall or adding graphite powder to bridge lip/wall..It must have binded and you turned the crank too hard against that resistance. Did 'brick paper' added in well cause the binding / not called for in instructions, say ?
Nice fix, anyway.
Sorry that happened.. M, Los Angeles
You could get some self adhesive cable tie bases to fasten your cabling.
Just wonder if you have tried the new PECO turntable motor yet ,l have had a lot of trouble with other motors no luck
Do you have to switch polarity once the loco goes onto the tt or do you make sure it goes on and backs off in the same direction without spinning the tt round the long way??
fatwalletboy2 it does it automatically
Not a good advert for the Peco Turntable
Hi Jen with these turntables hiw does the deck conduct electric from the lines?
Many thanks
Harry
Harry Chapman it has two spring loaded plungers that track on a split copper ring.
Hi Jen i have one of these and how do i wire it up to 3 extra bays for a loco TMD please?
Connect all of the lines off the turntable with droppers to your power feed. The turntable has its own power feed from the controller and automatically changes track polarity at a point in the rotation. Make sure that this polarity change point is at a point when the turntable is not lined up with any of the adjoining tracks!
Thankyou
For machino aka here in the usa it was known as erector uses m4 hardware
First!
lol. yes you are
Can i just point out that that comment wasn’t actually me, but rather Zoë being silly when she uploaded the video.
@@JenniferEKirk brilliant, really
Hi Jenny, another great video :)
As it happns I have just purchased a mini pillar drill for just under £50 from eBay, inc postage - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291698846631?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 and I am very pleased with it. It has all metal components and has both electronic variable speed control and a 4 speed belt & pulleys under the plastic hood. It standy about 13" high (330mm) and has a vertica travel of about 1.5" (40mm). It has a proper chuck that takes up to a 6mm drill bit.
Dave.
Nice video. I had similar probs with a loft layout. Keep at it, I've subscribed to your channel and would appreciate same. Thanks.
