I am building my first layout which includes a Roco 35900 turntable on a DC setup. I have a Gaugemaster Combi Controller powering the turntable solely, plus a Morley Controller for the loops. I am testing my installation on a desktop and cannot get the bridge to rotate. There is power going to the bridge track in that a train will move back and forth but I cannot get the bridge moving. I have wired it up correctly (I am sure and images attached) and spoken to my retailer but with no avail.

The turntable requires 15v AC but the accessory output pf my Gaugemaster Combi controller is 16v-18v, could this be the issue?

Are all those wires going to the the Wago connector supposed to be wired all together? Tha Wago is a commoning connector and three terminals are not separate terminals like on a terminal strip. What you have done there is connect all those wires going into each of the clamps together, each clamp is supposed to take one wire each.

If those groups of cables are supposed to be wired in three separate groups then use either terminal strip or three Wagos.

I assume you are using the Combi 16 volt AC output to power the TT?
Wago blocks are not elecrtrically seperate on each terminal, they have an internal bus bar linking all their terminals together.

TD has beeten me to the Wago comment

I've found the manual online, incase you are missing it. ( https://www.manualslib.com/manual/20057 ... e=3#manual)

I wasn't sure if they were commoned or not, google told me one thing, but images prove the other.

It looks like it's wired correctly to the controller, the pair of Yellow are track feeds, Black and White are AC power, and the Gray, Red and Yellow trio are the control wires from the Roco 6910 switch to the Turntable.

dataylor1958, You'll need to use individual Wago connectors for each wire, rather than one of the 3 connected together. It's likely confusing the 'smart' turntable.

The wires shown in the Wago are all connected together by the Wagos internal bus bar. Each of the coloured wires are seperate feeds/circuits and they are all being shorted together. For a three wire connection joint, three seperarate Wago blocks are needed. Two way ones would do or use three way ones with one spare connector in each.

That’s great feedback, I’ll try it as you suggest and I am sure it will work. Much appreciated.

The turntable works, it was my wiring that was at fault as you guys described. Thanks.
