Jeff:
If you are making a model of both turntables, check the wheelbase of your K36 brass engine. It will be longer than the prototype, to go around the tight curves. I did not have room for the TT at Sargent but put in the one at Marshall Pass. The plow on a K class engine sticks out that much further beyond the pit.
After the TT at Sargent was removed in the 1940's they kept the one stall track and an inspection pit. This had not been filled in when I visited in 1966. Other remains were part of the sandhouse bins, a section of the coaling trestle bin, station, and other structures. The one section house was still up on Marshall Pass.
