    Kinda give up. I don't see any issues with it being off even with it being snapped to the lead. I don't understand why I am having issues.

      Ya, don't have any grade on the turntable lead for one. When you place a turntable it's just like any other piece of track, it will be level. My problem was that my lead track was at one height and TSRE was placing the turntable track at a lower height. When you open it in the sim you can zoom into it and see the elevation difference where the turntable track meets the lead track.

        I'll ask again, can you provide some screenshots showing the tdb lines?

        Also make sure that your uid didn't change.

            What I was intending to ask for was a screenshot of the turntable in-route with the yellow TDB lines visible... not the lines of the TDB file.

            Also... turntables can’t be directly connected to a leading switch. They need a minimum of 1m straight between the pins on the turntable and a junction pin (red) for a switch.

                Only thing that stands out to me is that there's no possible path across the turntable. I've got it working in two different routes now, but each has a path across the turntable. Not sure if that's a requirement or not.

                    Just tried that , no such luck for me. Unless I can send someone this route , I don't for see this turntable working for me. I am completely out of ideas and how to get it to work.

                      The path doesn't have to touch the turntable, just needs to be close to the edge of the turntable. I can't remember, did you go into the turntables properties and select animated when you placed it?

                        Turns out I think the.dat file was named wrong because before bed last night I re used what Eric sent over and it works.
