Turntable
The Turntable is a device for turning locomotives around. It can be rotated by pushing the handle on the turntable itself, or by pulling the lever in the nearby operator's shack in either direction. It can also be rotated by holding pageup or pagedown while on the turntable. Not all stations have the Turntable although those that don't usually have circular tracks that allow you to turn the train simply by going around(the sole exception is the Farm which has neither)
Always apply brakes on the locomotive before using the Turntable, and if you have several locomotives apply brakes on all of them. The table can be rotated very quickly using the shack and without brakes you risk that the centrifugal force will slingshot your locomotives out of it.
A locomotive is considered to be on the turntable as long as all of its wheels are; it doesn't matter if parts of the chassis are sticking out. Some possible combinations include:
- 3x DE2 Shunter
- 2x DH4 Diesel Road-Switcher
- DE2 and DE6
- DE2 and DE6 Slug
