2e0dtoeric Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 No, that's fine. Are you using analogue or DCC, not that it makes any difference, really, except if you use DCC you need to read up about isolating the t/table so you don't get a reversing loop when the table is turned, and the sound might go off while it is turning, if you are using that.

Chrissaf Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Some additional information that eric alluded to..The inlet track shown with the Red circle is a special one and different from the other inlets. This special one has additional rail contacts (see second image). These contacts pass power from the layout to the rotating bridge track piece when it has moved away from the inlet track piece. It is important to make sure that the track that is connected to this particular inlet is one that it is powered. Regardless of whether the layout is DC or DCC../media/tinymce_upload/b0fb9f4ea68389167514f7370f8ad2bf.jpg./media/tinymce_upload/0ca0534fefa5c64fd3ec86149fe3947a.jpg.If the layout is DCC, then the TT will need to be modified, as it is designed as a DC Analogue TT. The forum recommended way of performing the DCC conversion is described in these two posts:.Converting Hornby R070 TT for DCChttps://www.hornby.com/uk-en/forum/r070-hornby-turn-table-to-dcc-including-images/?p=1.Using RailMaster to operate a DCC converted R070 TT.https://www.hornby.com/uk-en/forum/r070-turntable-configuration-in-railmaster/?p=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markaous Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 thank you very much Chrissaf, so this addition rail contact should be on one of the points. would it matter which one? the straight or the curved track leading off it, thanks Some additional information that eric alluded to..The inlet track shown with the Red circle is a special one and different from the other inlets.
