unfortunately the builder isn't up to making another turntable ( it involves animation skills beyond his skill level ) at the moment there are no other existing models that will fit into the building, they are either tied to roundhouses or the base is too large to fit .
Unfortunately its a case of having to make do .we have some talented builders in trainz but all too often they are making modern stuff, or are involved in their own projects.
The guy who normally makes stuff for me does architectural drawings and is working 80 hour weeks , he'd love to construct stuff but hes been flat out working for two years and has no sight of any relief soon . I'm hoping i can entice the guy who made the shed to make more items, but he may very well only be interested in the engine house . we will see. its a case of getting the majority of the route in place and all scenery right and then seeing what can be done to make it as close as possible, for instance theres no prototypical water tank, but there are others that can be substituted and reskinned . There is also another guy building a section of the south park route ( not this one) so other models may come to light in a while
Fortunately someone ( now sadly deceased ) made the Pitkin station building years ago to a high standard and one can clone it freely ,so that's a huge hurdle surmounted, building for St Elmo and many other Colorado towns the era are also around. I'll get there eventually , I'm quite patient and also persistent.


Heres a couple of early screenshots of Pitkin ....just laying out streets and trying the depot IN GAME , since then I've made it rollable so it can fit the incline of the land
