I have never seen a double turntable and those layouts/diaramas are excellent. That Norwegian scene looks fantastic.

Yes, did such a thing actually exist at least in Europe? Here in the states we sometimes had two roundhouses side by side with a turntable for each (Elkhart, Indiana, for example, had an old roundhouse and a newer roundhouse, one for passenger engines and one for freight engines.)

Also, Montlucon in France.

I like the two story turntable. Must have been modeled after the "Tidmouth Shed" area on the island of Sodor.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Sounds like we didn't have anything like that in North America.
