Turntables

The TrainPlayer portion of the manual describes how turntables look and behave.  This section describes how to build them with TrackLayer.

A turntable consists of two objects: a circle and a bridge track which crosses the circle and passes through the center.  When you rotate the table -- by double-clicking a point on the rim, or right-clicking and choosing a Rotate command from the menu -- the bridge rotates until either end is touching an end of an external connecting track.  At this point it stops, and the superimposed endpoints become a single junction a train can cross.

This section tells how to build and modify turntables, and includes tips for avoiding and repairing common problems.
