Practical plate:
We call it a rotary track, because typical features such as the pit are missing for a turntable. Nevertheless, you can use it to turn a locomotive and even as a carpet railway.
Enviable, who has a hall-like area available for his track 0 plant, the "normal" zero must usually be content with less space. Thus, it is not uncommon for an end or terminal station to be the choice. A hub on which you can turn the locomotives that would only drive slowly or not at all backwards would be welcome here. However, a turntable requires a certain depth of installation because of the pit and the stage, which in turn is quite unfavourable for the carpet railways, which are certainly common among the "zeros". Who wants a hole in the floor for a turntable?
Out of this dilemma came the idea of the rotary track. The whole construction is exactly as high as a track from the lenz track range of Lenz spur 0. The rotary track therefore does not require a recess and can therefore also be used by carpet railways.
The rotary track can be controlled digitally via the Digital plus by Lenz system or any other digital control that complies with the DCC standard. The control of the rotary track in the DCC system is similar to switching switches. Each departure, together with its directly opposite exit, has its own turnout address. Thus, 16 turnout addresses are used for the 32 exits of the rotary track. By selecting this turnout address on the digital control, you determine which outlet should be approached from the revolving stage. You can also determine the direction of rotation. For rotation, press the rotary track like a switch: select address on the hand controller, press the "+" button for a clockwise rotation, press the "-" button
