The Bexhill West Turntable User Guide
The Bexhill West Turntable is a computerised turntable control system featuring a wireless (mobile) controller for up to four turntables on a model railway layout. Each turntable can have up to 100 "roads", each of which can be easily programmed to any position.
This is the user guide, which covers everything from unpacking to having a working turntable on your layout.
If you are having an issue with your turntable, or you would just like to reach out and provide some feedback for the system - perhaps there's a feature you'd really like it to have, or there's a feature it had that you would prefer it didn't have(!), please feel free to contact us. You can either email us at bwt-support@electric-monk.com (this will automatically create an issue ticket in our ticketing system), or you can visit our support portal where you can raise a problem ticket, or a feedback ticket, etc.
