Turntables are short pieces of track on a mechanized structure that can be spun around along with one or more rail vehicles parked on it. Turntables are typically found near train yards and serve as a way to change vehicle orientation in a tight space, or to access radially placed parking tracks, such as at a roundhouse.
A turntable needs to be well aligned to bring a vehicle on it. Make sure that the vehicle is positioned entirely within the turntable and clear of any obstacles, with its brakes secured, before engaging the spinning. With improper operation, significant damage to the vehicle can occur.
Turntables can be operated in a few ways:
- by the turntable control lever, usually found in a nearby booth
- by physically pushing against the rod at the end of the turntable track
- via UI in mouse mode, depending on difficulty settings
- via keyboard shortcuts, depending on difficulty settings
Turntables produce a click sound when they align with a track.
