@dandex500 see Hornby's web page for detailed conversion using a locomotive chip rather thna an accesory decoder here... Search on google for "making hornby turntable dcc" then select the link with the following in hornby-dcc/decoder-installation-guides/turntable-conversion/
@MrJezza31 Thanks for your question. Simply take the two leads and attach them to the terminals of one of the the 12v DC controlled outputs (what would usually go to the track), it doesn't matter which way round, then use the controller to 'drive' the turntable.
@JohnPW22 no no no wait i dont understand you take the 2 leads from the back of the controlleer yes i get that but nothing else could you do a vidio on how its done plese as ive just bought a seccond hand turntable and i dont know what goes where if you know what i mean and my one isnt controllerble manually because the previous owner has lost the turning water pump thing
Yes, nice demo. I got one of these from an auction, brand new never opened (for £18) but found that it wasn't motorised. East Kent Models sorted me out the motor and gears for £20 which I thought was a bit steep, but evidently the gearing is not the common gearing for the X03 type motor - so BEWARE if you're wanting to motorise your Hornby turntable - it is not the common type of motor and special gearing is required. Nice demonstration John. Robert
@waldenhouse Thanks for the kind comments! There's a great review of turntables in the October edition of Model Rail - quite taken by the Peco but again its the motorising which costs.... mmmm.
I like the weathering on that hymek and the spinning water crane certainly adds comedy value!! The hornby turntable dosent come with a water crane nowadays and there is no manualy operated version (although I think people would buy it if it was cheaper than the electric version). I use an old duette for general testing of locos, even by todays standards they're great controllers.
Thumbs Up if you thnk he sounds like professor snape from harry potter

@MrJezza31 Does yours have a motor - it needs one... and should have two wires coming from it.

@JohnPW22 im not sure it does actuelly so could i buy the little water pump off you to operate the turntable
MrJezza31 10 months ago
@MrJezza31 Not sure I want to sell it... it kinda gives an authentic feel...! You could get a motor on ebay... there's a few on there.
