In each case I just need a dummy line to go across a 24" section.
It is a simple crossing, Mainline CVR bisected by NArrow gauge "non-powered" rail.

Tyson, remember it was from the posts in narrow gauge and logging that it was folks like you that inspired me to do my logging area in Nn3 instead of the usual N gauge I was going to use.
Along with track laying I started on the 65 foot turntable. The first photo shows the rough cut through the pink foam.

Robin this is something that interest me very much are you building it from a set of plan or a website link?? Or is it something you are designing? Thanks Pat
Robin I thank you for the response and can only hope that you post "alot" of progress pics as I cant see how to make one out of that picture. Pat
balanced-beam
The turntable is one of those balanced-beam types that were used in the late 1800s. I thought it would be appropriate for Nn3 logging.
Materials used:
A srtip of masonite for the base,
Cerealboard.
Corrugated cardboard 1/16th thick from an M&Ms box.
A sheet of copy paper.
Button thread
White glue
5 min epoxy.
A section of Z gauge track.
The epoxy is used to hold the bolt top to the masonite.
Here it is ready for painting.

3phase, the answer is YES!
Actually I have visited the MAT, it is an amazing N Scale layout.
Robin has done an amazing job with it.

3phase, as Will says my layout is N scale but the logging area is narrow gauge so we N gaugers use z scale track for natrrow gauge and it is known as Nn3
Great work Robin!!!! I think Kellogg's owes you a trip around the world - or at the very least a lifetime supply of cereal for all the creative uses you've put their packaging to!!!
