Old Is New. Turntable

[Dean Hoffman]

A company is marketing a turntable to turn cars around in a house's driveway.

Memory tells me railroads used them for their locomotives long ago.

Apparently there are still some operational Round Houses, although many are in ruins, many are museums and many have been repurposed as different types of businesses.

Very good. And I liked the way they put you in suspense for much of the video.

It leads to this, also very good.

Waterways use them too.

While it is in open air, there is a transportatiion museum near me that used to be a train repair shop. They have let some people get on the turntable and rode them around.

Afaik Montana Rail Link still uses it.

I think I'm going to get one of these and put it in my garage, so I don't have to back out of the garage.

When I get a garage.

Wow, doesn't list Baltimore. Baltimroe used to have one and I've been there, but they've ruined it. It's just the shadow of what it was.
