already mounted and wired, and an electronic Reverse Loop Relay (functions if the turntable rotates over 180 degrees).
Can be powered by any DC powerpack to turn the bridge in either direction.
(Alternative option: precision stepper motor substituted, for accurate indexing ability.)
Pit rail is from American Models flextrack.
Bridge is included, but not detailed. You supply your own bridge track of choice.
Supplied ready to easily install in a square hole in your layout !

PAYMENT: Check, money-order,  VISA,  MC,  DISCOVER,  AMEX,  and  PAYPAL   are all  accepted. With your permission, we can keep your credit-card preference securely on file so that you may submit future orders quickly via e-mail.

SHIPPING: We can usually fill most orders and ship within 48-72 hours. We do not back-order items unless we fully expect to be able to ship the item(s) in question within about 10 days. Otherwise, we will refund.
    Standard shipping charge is $6.00 for priority mail. For an order that includes only decals, stickers, or dry-transfers (which can be mailed in a standard envelope), the shipping charge is $1.00 . For heavy or valuable packages, there may be an additional charge, for which we will invoice you.  Internet Shopping Cart charges are based only on size of order, and cannot discriminate weight or shipping carrier.  If the Shopping Cart overcharges you, we will refund.  If it undercharges, we will invoice you.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING SHIPPING & INSURANCE

We have discontinued all USPS and FedEx insurance coverage of our outgoing shipments. Instead, we have contracted for blanket insurance coverage through a third-party insurer. The result of this is that we can provide you with insured shipments for a very reasonable cost. We will insure any shipment for only $1.00 per $100 (or portion thereof) of coverage. If your package is either lost or damaged in transit, simply notify us and we will replace your shipment (if possible), and process the insurance claim. Should you choose not to insure, we will not be responsible for any loss.

Until we complete appropriate changes in our website shopping cart, and our order forms, you will need to "Add Insurance coverage" to your order, if you wish to include it....just add this in the COMMENTS section at Checkout.  Include additional payment of $1.00 per $100 coverage. Please note that your shipping labels will not carry any obvious indication of insurance coverage even though you have requested and paid for it, but it will have been applied to the shipment (it actually is on the label, but in a coded form).

We hope this very reasonable rate of coverage will benefit all involved !

REPAIR SERVICES:  We operate a complete AF repair shop, and will attempt to repair any AF equipment. Return shipping is not included in these fees.

      Basic steam-engine service, cleaning, and complete overhaul:     Minimum $45 plus parts .
