  Railroad Block Turntable
While late model center-bearing turntables were sometimes equipped with a perimeter circle rail, this served only to support the ends of the turntable bridge while locomotives entered or left the table and to prevent the turntable from being upset should it come out of balance during operation.
However, in either case, center-bearing turntables had to be longer than end-bearing to handle identical locomotives since the center-bearing design required enough room to allow a locomotive and tender’s combined center-of-gravity to be positioned directly over the turntable’s center (which an end-bearing turntable had only to be slightly longer than a locomotive and tender’s wheelbase).
While wooden gallows turntables longer than fifty-six feet are otherwise unknown in the extant SP records, the Folsom turntable appeared on a 1913 station plat as sixty-six feet in diameter.

OUR OPINION Like all the other turntables that have come along over the years trying to compete with the Technics 1200, we were initially skeptical about the performance of the TTX, which has been hailed by many as the next step.
FEATURES This is the turntable that first established the type of high torque (motor strength), accurate pitch (speed control), quality tone arm (aids in skip resistance), and superior sound that is required by djs; and after 25+ years it is still the standard by which all other turntables are judged.
