    Are there any operational vacuum operated turntables around? I think Kidderminster has one but I'm not sure.

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    Yes the Kidderminster t/table is vacuum operated though it can also be worked by hand.

    No I do not currently volunteer
    WCRC at Carnforth is I believe vac operated, but when I saw it in use it needed a push as well...

    The turntable on the Dartmouth Steam Railway at Churston is a Vacuum operated table, came from Goodrington originally. However, the vacuum engine has been taken off, we are planning to reinstall it!
