peer agreement (net): +2railway roundhouse Explanation: It's a roundhouse. I've heard the terminology 'turntable' as well, but it's so not widely used or accepted. Best of luck :) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2008-09-05 12:43:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The 'Roundhouse' is the building where the action takes places and the 'turntable' is the mechanism itself.
