    I'm wondering do these exist in train simulator? I could use some for a route I have started working on. It would be easier to just find a dlc that has them as I haven't figured out how create animated assets yet, but I might tray and have a go if I need to.

    Thanks.

    I'm sure they're a really small version of a regular turntable except being just over the length of 1 private owner "plank wagon"

    Wagon Turntables do exist in the game but I don't think they work they way the real version does

    For a vehicle to move something has to do the work which you don't have if the wagon is by itself on the turntable

    Thank you for the replies. It's nice to see someone has made one but I never considered how they would actually work in game. I just thought well they are turntables so they turn, not how we actually move wagons. I guess we would need an odd solution like powered wagons or controllable shire horses to make these work properly. :D
    I'll have to make sure if I decide to use any that they are decorative only.
