Wow! What a project. We have either a 55' or 60' pit that housed an Armstrong table in the old PRR yard next to our museum in Pemberton, NJ. If we can fight Wawa for the ground, we will want to restore the table.

Which brings me to ask. Do you have a table or do you have to build one?

Later!

We own a 105' turntable which we purchased from Jack Showalter (VA Central Railroad). The table spent its working life in the Potomac Yard of the RF&P. The table needed minimal work which we are doing with volunteer labor.

Thanks
