started or failed to stop, it might fall into the turntable pit. On rare occasions, a turntable would spin too fast during high winds, as happened at Garsdale (Settle–Carlisle line) in the UK c.1900. At this very exposed location, this was resolved by surrounding the turntable with a wooden stockade made from old sleepers. Unusual turntables The roundhouse in Montluçon, France, was equipped with a separate turntable and sector plate, which is a table pivoted at one end, in this case at the edge of the turntable. The sector plate served the side of the roundhouse that housed autorails with less requirement for turning. Both the turntable and sector plate were served by separate connections to the roundhouse. If turning was required the two could be connected together. The resulting roundhouse was not completely circular. Part of the roundhouse with the turntable is still extant. A similar, operational sector plate is located in Bavaria at the German Steam Locomotive Museum. Due to a lack of space at Ventnor railway station, a small turntable was provided to allow steam engines to run around their trains. Other stations with this arrangement included , Withernsea and . The last remaining operational triple-gauge turntable in the world, used to station trains into the 23 bay roundhouse, exists at the Steamtown Heritage Centre in Peterborough, South Australia. A turntable exists on the Midland Line, New Zealand at Arthurs Pass in New Zealand. Steam engines on excursions cannot enter the Otira tunnel so must be turned around for the return Multiple turntables Stations housing large numbers of engines may have more than one turntable: Old Oak Common TMD – formerly 4 Enfield – formerly 3 (none survives today) Broadmeadow – 2 Falun – 2 Hallsberg – 2 Göteborg Sävenäs yard – 2 (Second removed ~2005) Linwood – formerly 2 (second removed during 1980/1990s) Valladolid () – 2 See also List of railway roundhouses, most or all of which include a turntable Wye – a way of turning whole trains. Transfer table (UK: 'traverser') – provides access to two or more parallel tracks in a space saving manner like a turntable, but without the ability to turn. A Sector plate or sector table is a traverser that rotates around a pivot that is not at the centre and therefore cannot rotate through 360˚. Nowadays control cars, or coaches with controls at one end, have largely eliminated the
