Turntable: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:18, 10 March 2025

Turntables are short pieces of track on a mechanized structure that can be spun around along with a rail vehicle parked on it. They are typically found near train yards and serve as a way to change a vehicle’s orientation in a tight space, or to access radially placed parking tracks, such as at a roundhouse .

The driver must ensure that the turntable is properly aligned before bringing a vehicle on it. They must also ensure that the vehicle is positioned entirely within the turntable and clear of any obstacles, with its brakes secured , before engaging in spinning. With improper operation, massive damage to the vehicle can occur.

Turntables can be operated in four ways - via a lever in the small cabin next to the track, by manually pushing against the rod at the end of the track and, depending on the session difficulty settings , via UI in mouse mode and keyboard shortcuts.

Turntables produce a click sound when they align with a track.
