Which turntable has the closest match to my 45cm diameter table?

Mentioning a manufacturer and other details might help people.

Thanks for the reply.

It is a scale 120' HO (45cm diameter) turntable by Diamond Scale. These are handcrafted turntables, very exquisite detail but with an antiquated indexing system.

However, this is besides the point since indexing these days is done electronically with no need for pre-designed track index slots.

Basically any circle of a specific diameter would work, but how is this done in AnyRail?

We do not always monitor the forums that actively! The Diamond Scale site does not reveal much about the exact dimensions.

Would it be ok/helpfull if I did take the dimensions accurately and send them to you?

When I need a circle of say 45cm in diameter to simulate a turntable, I just draw one.  Did that to simulate a scratch built turntable on my layout.

What is that circle tool? I must have overlooked that..

David

The circle tool is on the INSERT tab. It creates a square with round corners, resulting in a circle.

Yes, if we have all the (verified) dimensions, we'd be glad to add the turntable(s).
