So I got a little bored of working on Arc and took a break, and I ended up making this. I think its pretty cool. Anyone know if this has been done before?

Woah! This looks awesome. My only concern is that there is no way for the train to exit the turntable. If it is possible try to add a lifting mechanism to the opposite end it enters so it titles the car backwards possible to a lower track in a different direction. Just a thought though.

If there is a way to but the motor direct at the pivot point it will probably work smoother.
Looks great either way keep innovating !

This would be cool to see. I wonder if there could be some sort of incline system that pushes up the track structure slightly so that the train can leave? Maybe some electronic equipment or something could make it so that it stops at precise angles, or maybe even somehow randomizes it: just imagine, you have, like, 10 tracks going off of that and because the automation is random, you won't know what track it will choose. 

Edit: Ooh, and imagine this being able to rotate 360*. Not sure how useful it would be, though.

It would be cool to see this concept modified slightly to allow a recreation of the new Mack Spinning Coaster to be accurately made.

I think what you have is cool!
