Turntable
A low-poly Victorian locomotive turntable for the Railway Station kit. An iron-green fish-belly girder bridge carries one track across a brick-lined pit with a cream stone coping. The bridge turns a full circle on a centre pier and rides on a race rail, and approach roads cross the yard slab to meet it.

Left rail: colours and the 3 knobs the agent wrote into this model — they rebuild the geometry and go into your download. Right rail: looks for the viewer. Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom.

The brief given to 1DesignTool's “3D object” template:
Turntable for the Railway Station kit. Design it as one clear asset at believable real-world scale for that setting (state the size in metres in meta.notes), with its main parts modelled and named, readable at thumbnail size and from every orbit angle. It moves: author a seamless baked loop (2–12 s) with every pivot exactly at its hinge, axle or swivel, and keep the base still. This is one part of the Railway Station kit (Low-poly style, flat-lowpoly direction): Platforms, signals and a grand hall. Use ONLY the kit palette, by name: brick #9e3d2e, iron green #3a883a, cream #f1e7d0, signal red #e90c0c, brick dark #63261d, iron green dark #235223, brick light #c66253, iron green light #5db15d, soot black #1b1b22, warm white #f2ede2, mid grey #7d828c, dark wood #3d2a1c. Every material's `name` must be exactly the palette colour it uses — the GLB carries these names so the kit recolours as one; an unnamed material fails delivery. Kit knob: expose a param `era` (0–1, default 0.5) for the kit's "Era" setting wherever it makes sense on this part, and keep that id.

Note: Size: the yard slab is 20.0 × 20.0 m (five 4 m kit tiles a side) and 1.1 m thick. The pit is 14.6 m across (a 48 ft turntable) and 1.0 m deep. The bridge is 13.9 m long and 3.5 m wide. The model is 4.0 m tall, measured to the motor hut's exhaust stack. Rail tops are at 1.36 m, and the origin is at the slab's bottom centre on y = 0. Gauge is 1.435 m. The main approach road leaves toward +Z. The GLB has 4,176 triangles. It carries one 12 s seamless clip, 'scene-motion'. In the clip the bridge dwells, turns one full revolution about the vertical axis through the centre pier, and dwells again. The four carriage wheels spin about their own radial axles a whole number of turns, so the clip loops cleanly. The slab, pit and pier never move. The wheel nodes carry a fixed yaw plus their spin, and their mesh data is stored around the axle, so the raw accessor bounds dip to -0.22 m in y. The posed model still rests on y = 0. Normals are baked flat (non-indexed), and every material is named exactly after a kit palette colour. era (the kit's 'Era') switches the drive: below 0.5 the bridge has timber push bars at both ends, and from 0.5 a cream motor hut rides on an outrigger at the +Z end. The push bars sweep over the coping at 1 m height, as on real hand-worked tables. diameter rescales the pit and bridge, and the slab grows in whole 4 m steps. roads gives 2 straight-through approach roads or 4 at right angles. The GLB is baked at the default params. Changing a param rebuilds the model only in the viewer. three-check passed at the defaults and at both extremes (era 0, diameter 10, 2 roads; era 1, diameter 18, 4 roads). glb-lint: 0 errors and 6 heuristic warnings, all expected for this build style: non-indexed flat shading, nested pit rings flagged as overlapping, rail heads and handrail caps seated on their supports flagged as 'detached', and a 4 m height against a 1 m reference. plan-check rejects only the hyphenated library part ids, because its regex allows no hyphen; three-check accepts them, and all 12 survive the GLB reload. Two fix rounds: (1) a 16 m slab left no room for the approach roads, so it was widened to 20 m; (2) sleepers were brought up to the coping, and the hero framing was tightened.
About the Turntable 3D model
Turntable is a free animated low-poly 3D model from the Railway Station set. It measures 20 m × 4.0 m × 20 m (W × H × D) at real-world scale and is built from 4,176 triangles across 33 meshes, with 12 named parts and a baked animation (12.0 s). Download the 364 KB GLB and drop it into three.js, React Three Fiber, Godot or Blender — free for commercial use, no attribution required.
- Is the Turntable 3D model free for commercial use?
- Yes. It is free under the 1DesignTool 3D library license: use it in personal and commercial work — games, apps, websites, renders, ads and client projects — and modify it as you like, with no credit required. What you can't do is re-sell or re-distribute the file on its own or inside a model pack.
- What file format is it, and how big is it?
- A single binary glTF 2.0 file (.glb), 364 KB: 4,176 triangles, 12,528 vertices and 33 materials, modelled in metres at 20 m × 4.0 m × 20 m.
- Is Turntable animated?
- Yes — the GLB carries a baked animation (12.0 s), ready to play with any glTF animation mixer.
- Which engines and tools can open it?
- Anything that reads glTF 2.0. three.js, React Three Fiber, Babylon.js, Godot 4 and Blender import the GLB directly; Unity and Unreal Engine load it through their glTF importers. The snippets above show the exact code for three.js, React Three Fiber, Godot and Blender.
- How was the Turntable 3D model made?
- Claude Code (Claude Opus 5.5) generated it inside 1DesignTool's 3D template from a written brief, then the design kit's checks verified the geometry and the GLB before it was published. You can make your own the same way with 1DesignTool.
