Several posts relating specifically to the St Blazey turntable have been merged here, to provide a definitive topic on the subject.

Hope this helps!  CfN.

A turntable in Dartmouth?
That's a first.
The town that never had a railway line (but DID have a ticket and parcels office) currently has a turntable.

Local residents will be surprised, as will steam loco operators!

Two things could it be lifted out and  re-located to a heritage railway,or the area around the turntable be sold off separately?

An awful lot of work has gone into this TT in the last 4 months.  Dismantled, refurbished, painted and tested with a 66.  Nothing like a deadline to work to.  Bring on the Socttish visitor tomorrow.

A lot of work has taken place and yesterday it was tested out by all 126 tonnes of a class 66

Just showing me 'about#blank' whenever I try8 to access.
I guess it's my security systems getting twitchy!


The link looks slightly mixed - let me try:
https://tracksidemag.imbmsubscriptions.com/current-issue/

EDIT - that took me to the page to pay to subscribe to Trackside ... which I think is the intent of the original poster.  Personally, I'll wait for the wider release of information.

Sorted.
Thank you grahame

Mpower Kernow CIC is delighted to finally be able to go public with our exciting plans for the turntable, and an associated workshop at St Blazey.  Our first press release went to Trackside Magazine, with the remainder of the rail press and wider media briefed this week.

https://tracksidemag.imbmsubscriptions.com/current-issue/][url]https://tracksidemag.imbmsubscriptions.com/current-issue/[/url]

Not going to publish the press release yet, as I figure it is important that the media gets a chance to sell magazines, but as one of the directors of this project, I am happy to answer any questions.

Cheers all.
