Hi,
Recently I was looking at some pictures of the Lahaina, Kaanapali & Pacific Railroad and noticed that their turntable is completely covered. You can't see the pit at all. I would guess their turntable is like that for safety but how often in the days of steam were turntables built like this? And why??? I have seen pictures of this style before but not often. Just for reference here is a link to what I am talking about:

I would think this type would be easier to model (there is my lazy side sneaking out again/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/unsure.gif)
