RE: M-19 Turntable - the best I have seen

[Mark & Deby Springer <springer@feist.com>]

One of the best turntables I have seen was made completely differently then
the Fairmont car.  The fellow used an electric jack such as you might put
on trailer to lift the front up.  On the bottom of the lift he put 2 rubber
tired wheels.  When he gets to the crossing he puts the jack down and this
lifts the rear of the car up.  Then he just pushes the car around and lifts
the jack back up.  Looks to have been easy to install and is much lighter
then the standard Fairmont turntable.

Another friends used a similar method to lift up the rear of his A-car.
