Fleischmann Turntable Instructions (6152C).

The FLEISCHMANN Turntable 6152 C was constructed as a built-in turntable. Complete with trench
and turning platform this is a true-to-life model. The turntable is electrically operated and can be operated remotely by the turntable switch 6910,
which is included. The switch will fit into the FLEISCHMANN diagrammatic control (Fig. 1).

Installation:
For installing the turntable you will need a hole with 340 mm diameter in your layout board. It will not
be necessary to fasten it down, as the turntable will be stopped at fa stened tracks. If the turntable has
to be laid on top of the layout, a base of polystyre ne (or similar) should be laid underneath. In this
case entry and exit ramps 30 mm high must be creat ed for the tracks. The turntable is divided into
7.5° sections with a maximum of 48 possible rail connections.
The 7.5° sections are provided to match up to the standing position of 3 locos in the loco shed 6476.
The turntable can also be set up for 15° section operation. In this case only one cover plate should be left between the sidings (Fig. 2). The 7.5° track angl e of the Turntable 6152 C, is compensated for by
fitting a Track Section 6139. The inner circle track runs parallel to the nearest track.

Connecting the motor of the platform:
Attention! First connect all of the wires of the turnt able and its switch before you connect the mains
transformer to the AC-outlet. Otherwi se you risk the damage of the switch caused by short-circuit. The
3 wires, red, yellow and grey must be connected to the correspon ding wires on the switch, if
necessary with the 6941 connector. T he black and white wire from the switch must go to the A. C.
connection on the transformer/c ontroller (type 670601, 6725, 6735, 6755/Fig. 3), also for digital
operation. Rotating the turntable by hand, see fig. 11 and 12.
Connecting current to the platform:
The twin yellow wires of the turntable should be con nected to the clips for the D. C. on the transformer
(Fig. 3). If operating the layout digitally, then the tw in yellow wires should not be connected to the
digital transformer, but connected to the lila c and lilac/white of the digital controller.

Controlling the connecting track: With this turntable switch the platform can be turned either to the left or right by means of the black
switch. The platform stops automatically at each track. A continuous action through to your chosen
position is possible if the switch is pushed into the di rection of travel to its outer limit until the position
is reached.
On reaching this position, it is stopped by pressing in the opposite direction (Fig. 4).

Feeding the connecting track with power:
In conjunction with the turntable switch 6910, each c onnecting track of this ”thinking“ turntable can be
selected to be fed with power from the turntable brid ge (Fig. 5/6). If the turntable switch 6910 is turned
to the position marked ( ・・), then the connecting track which is lined up with the turntable bridge
side with the attendant’s cab will be fed with power. If t he turntable switch is turned to the position
marked “w”, then the connecting track which is lined up with the turntable bridge side without the
attendant’s cab will be fed with power. With this “com fort” turntable, then either one or the other track
will be fed with power, and never both at the same time . In this way, a loco can be stored on a track
without power, and simultaneously, one locate d on the track lined up immediately opposite the
turntable bridge can still be operated.

Operation of the layout with two, or more, transformers:
The turntable area should be controlled by a separate transformer. All lines which go over into the
turntable area should be cut off with tw o isolating fish plates 6433 (Fig. 7).
Operating of the layout with one transformer:
It is possible to operate the whole layout with just on e transformer. As before all lines to the turntable
area are cut off with two isolating fish plates 6433. Current is fed into the line. The turntable is also
fitted with a switch 6904/6924 or a pause switch 6905 (Fig. 8).

Extensions:
With the Extensions Set 6433 the turntable can be extended to cope with three rail connections (Fig. 9). The turntable should be placed away from the area of the installed parts. The cover plates are now
pulled up by pushing back the spring switch-tongues (F ig. 10), and stuck in the approach track. Every
approach track is to be set up opposite a b lind section or another approach track.

Rotating the turntable by hand:
Opposite the motor housing, under the turning table, is a small black lever. By pressing the lever
towards the centre, the drive gear wheel is withdraw n from the teeth in the outer drive ring releasing
the table so that it can be moved manually in t he desired direction. When the lever is released the
gear wheel is again enmeshed with the outer-ring. Ensu re, however, that the rotating tracks are lined
up with the exit tracks (Fig. 11). Should the turnt able not operate, when pressing the switch 6910,
simply press the lever slightly to ensure the gear wheel is firmly s eated in the drive ring, which will
then start it moving. It will then stop at the next track again (Fig. 12).

Oiling the motor:
To oil the drive motor both lattice cover plates must be removed from the machine house with a
screwdriver (Fig. 13). Just one drop of oil should be put through the holes to lubricate the points as shown. Use either the Gaugemaster GM619 or the FLEISCHMANN-oil 6599 (Fig. 14).

Dismantling the table:
Should the turntable not operate by moving the lever, it will be necessary to dismantle the table. Using
a small screwdriver, gently lift the small cover plat e in the centre of the table between the two rails
and spring off the cir-clip on the central pivot (Fig. 15). Be careful not to lose the cir-clip . On each
side of the platform take off 6 opposing components (Fig. 10).

Now the platform can be removed. The contact points and springs round the central pivot should be
cleaned. To put the table back togethe r simply reverse the procedure.

In the unfortunate instance that the turntable should still not function, please return it to your local
dealer or to your supplier or direct to the FLEISCHMANN Technical Centre.
