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) Date: 05/16/22 08:44 Re: Rio Grande Southern 20 on CRRM Turntable Author: wp1801 very interesting video!
