Nansen Street Roundhouse kit was created by jlundy46
I'm in need of a roundhouse for my layout and Nansen Street Models has a laser cut American kit. Does anyone know if this will line up with a Marklin turntable?

Thanks,
John

I have one. What I discovered was it will line up with the turntable by moving it toward or away from the turntable. At some point the geometry will mesh. Cheers, Jim CCRR:)

Well, it's not that simple. The center line of tracks could align with the center line of openings, but the angles must match too, to avoid small curved track sections to correct the angle errors. Roundhouse stalls should be connected to the turntable bridge with straight tracks, so the angle configuration of turntable and roundhouse should match.

John,

Lajos is correct but Jim has answered the question. To be honest we never measured the roundhouse with the Marklin turntable.

I used a template provided by Dan on TB and it lines up and I will have plenty of room for it on the layout:P

Thanks for your help.
