To turn the bridge, move the R046 switch lever to the left (it is 

shown to the right in Fig.5). Operate the train controller knob in 

either direction at a convenient speed. As the bridge aligns with 

each outlet there will be a "dwell" time allowing the controller to 

be switched to "off" when the required outlet is reached. Change 

the R046 switch back to drive the locomotive off the turntable.

 

ii.  To run a locomotive to any outlet track

 

 

Switch point  A  for the turntable, run the locomotive onto the 

bridge – Stop.

 

 

Change the R046 switch and operate the train controller until 

the bridge is lined up with the required outlet track.

 

 

Change the R046 switch again and drive the locomotive into 

the outlet.

 

 

The only outlet that is electrically live is the one with which 

the bridge is aligned and that will only be live when the power 

connected to the inlet track is on. Locomotives can be stored 

on the outlet tracks but track  B 

 (Fig.5) 

will always be live when 

a locomotive is run between the bridge and the inlet track and 

should not be used for storing locomotives.

The turntable may also be operated from the DC auxiliary output of 

other Hornby power units by using an R047 switch. 

SAFETY NOTICES

• Direct adult supervision is required for children under 14 years.

• This product is not suitable for children under three years of age 

because of small parts which can present a choking hazard. Some 

components have functional sharp points and edges – handle with care.

• This product is intended for indoor use only.

• The transformer is not a toy. It is a “Transformer for Toys”. Before 

use, check that the transformer is the correct voltage for your mains 

electricity supply. This product is only to be used with the 

recommended transformer. The transformer should be examined 

regularly for damage to the casing, plug pins and cables. In the event 

of such damage, the set should not be used until the

  transformer is replaced with a new Hornby recommended 

unit. Never attempt to open the transformer yourself.

• This product must not be connected to more than the 

recommended number of power supplies. The output terminals of 

the transformer must not be connected directly, or indirectly, to the 

output of any other AC circuit derived from a transformer or mains 

power supply.

• Before cleaning any part, disconnect the transformer from the mains 

electricity supply. Do not use liquid for cleaning.

• Please retain these details and the address for future reference.

5.  Assembly into Layout

 

The inlet track of the Turntable must be connected to a spur off the 

main layout and it is essential that this spur has power available for the 

movement of locomotives. The layout plan in Fig.5 shows a small layout 

where power is fed to the turntable spur through point A.
6.

 

Wiring

 

The turntable motor is arranged to work from the same 12 volt DC 

Train Controller that is being used to drive a locomotive. Fig.5 shows the 

wiring arrangement whereby an R046 switch is used to divert the power 

from the track to the turntable motor. The extra power connecting 

clip  X  supplied with the turntable must be fitted to a section of track 

adjacent to that where the track feed clip  Y is located.
Plastic twin connecting sleeves are fitted to the wires to provide an 

optional facility to tidy the connections at track connection  Y  and 

R046 switch.
7.  Locomotive Operation

 

 

i.  To turn a locomotive

 

 

Switch point A 

(Fig.5) 

for the turntable spur, run the locomotive 

from the main line onto the spur and continue slowly onto the 

centre of the turntable bridge – Stop.
