Like a lot of model railroaders I fell victim to advertising and bought a few locos that are too big to turn on my turntable. And I'm not going to be able to build the reverse loops as I had planned. So how can I turn these long, heavy, and in some ways delicate locos?. Lets take a look at a product from DCCconcepts that is solving my problem and may work for you--enter the portable reverse loop.
The USA vendor for the MPD is www.ironplanethobbies.com and in Canada www.locomotiveworks.ca. There also are a number of vendors in the UK and in Australia so check your local dealers there.
