I wrote this for a British forum, but with some litlle adaptations, it can be used here as well.

Little turntable for Trix C tracks

I know a few British modelrail owners are using Trix C tracks. A review of Trix C tracks was published in Model Rail, No.109, October 2007. Model Rail was enthusiastic about the fitting of C tracks and the working of the switches, but accesoiries for C tracks is limited.
Diamond crossing are still not made for Trix C tracks, but bridges are. The Märklin C track bridges fit perfectly on Trix C track (although it is not mentioned in the Trix catalogue).



Some accesoiries can be made by yourself, although it need a little work.
For this little turntable you need:

— Fleischmann 6050 manual operated turntable.
— Trix 62951 adapter track (at least 4).
— Roco 42612 fishplates (for code 83/100 rails).

1) Remove the turntable connection, it is simply clicked on the turntable.
2) Remove the fishplate from the turntable connection. Fleischmann rails is code 100.
3) Roco 42612 fishplates can connect code 83 with code 100 rails. The fishplate has 2 sides, low for code 100 rails and high for code 83 rails. The side for code 83 rails has to be made a little shorter or it will not fit onto the Trix C Tracks.
4) Connect Trix 62951 with the turntable connection using the modified Roco 42612 fishplates.





5) Fit this combination onto the Fleischmann turntable.



The Fleischmann 6050 turntable comes with an engine shed. It is made of cardboard, but you might replace it by a Faller, Kibri or Vollmer (or any other) example.
And last but not least, you can buy Fleischmann 6051 turntable connectors. With this set you can add 4 extra connections to the turntable.

Nice conversion ( and well documented, too)!

I think, many branchlines will more than welcome this little turntable

Keep up the good work!

On a British forum already a suggestion is made to shorten the rails of the turntable for a better fit.
I haven't done this yet.

Well, if you shorten the rails of the turntable, you should also file the ends to a slight bevel. Makes it a lot easier to slip on the rail joiners, especially in this tight space..

& method; Right; I am asking: has some authority official yet tried this solution OR not??
More technically speaking I consulted local cordless tools vendor ; he gave me a go green signal subjected to slight deviation!
If possible to let me know that British Forum & more specifically the thread discussing this topic!
Thanks in advance.
Full marks to your topic documentation!
