turntables... - trevor369 - 09-09-2017
i know about these. i have always wanted them for many, many reasons.
i have always put them off. but not this particular time.
is there any difference between the tomy version vs. the tomica world version?
to further clarify,
i'm referring to the turn tables that apply to motorized road vehicles. the #7512 version, i believe.
RE: turntables... - leylandvictory2 - 09-09-2017
the tomy turn table uses special tracks.
RE: turntables... - trevor369 - 09-09-2017
since everyone here is about google.
no offense to anyone, mind you.
leyland, you say tomy uses special tracks. can you provide a link.
if not, that is ok.
but please define"special" track
doesn't the tomica world turntable use "special" track?
furthermore, if there is a difference between the two...
what is it?
RE: turntables... - NWRMainLineTerminal - 09-09-2017
It has a different connector than the normal blue track. It is a diamondesque shape.
RE: turntables... - trevor369 - 09-09-2017
are you referring to a "road" rail/track?
they are, also, diamond shaped.
just trying to define terms.
aren't both sets, tomica and tomy, adaptable to "diamond" tracks?
the only thing i see different between these two genres is color.
yes?

RE: turntables... - trevor369 - 09-09-2017
maybe i should define my goal.
i ,hope, to modify this piece. whether it be tomy or tomica.
i want to take it apart. insert an adapter. so that instead of this piece being specifically designed for road vehicles...
redesign them for engines / trains.
does this make sense?

The Plarail Chuggington trains have what you may be looking for. You sometimes can find used Chuggington items on Ebay.

RE: turntables... - sunhuntin - 09-09-2017
engines wouldnt fit. this piece is designed to turn on the spot and send the car back the way it came. engines would be too long and the drivewheels likely wouldnt make it onto the rollers, which is what makes the table turn.
there have been train ones that do this released, but they were under the chuggington range from plarail. not sure if they can be bought seperately or not

RE: turntables... - trevor369 - 09-09-2017
thanks, on that.
may save me alot of time and headache.
this chuggington piece, does it come in a set?
nice videos . not sure about the vision i had in mind. but the information definitely helps.
1 question though.
this chuggington turntable?
is it only through plarail?
