Thanks everyone for the all the responses to my question. I now have a few new ideas on going forward. Just to add some more information my 5" gauge tank engine is 54" long and weighs in excess of 100kg. Normally it lives on a substantial mobile steel angle frame and my idea was to add height adjustable supports at each end of the frame so I can lift and then turn the engine into the required position. Duncan's point about moveable pivots points is likely to be a very valid one!

Thanks John B

I was considering making a rotating frame to simplify the maintenance of my 5” gauge loco. I have some ideas about how to go about this but have not seen any designs. Grateful for any suggestions or links from the experts out there.

Looking at Thompson L1s at the moment and just interested to know if this project progressed beyond the rather troublesome drawings!

Regards John
