Just curious about "Armstrong" turntables - how critical is the balance of the locomotive over the pit bearing? Does 5' plus or minus make a difference, or is it necessary to get it within a couple feet of perfect balance fore & aft?
(And, I guess that "balance" applies to powered turntables as well since the electric motors are relatively low HP)

The turntable is pretty easy to move. Balance is important, but can have some give for sure. Years ago, I used to volunteer out there and for show, would only need 1 person to push the turntable with a load on it.
