Update: I have posted the BR 89 MOD that goes one on one with the turn table MOC presented below in the Community Forum, as per the EB rules:

Good evening,
OK, mods, or favorably @JopieK ;) I have a problem (the Houston type thing ).
Let's assume I have purchased a BB BR89, 10 wide, beautiful original BB design; a display model. For less than 70€ ;)
Let's further assume, I watched YouTube videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dx6zkcSzdDo - only embedded here as link, due to forum regulations), whatever, how to motorize it. Bricked4You is a genius!
Let's further assume, I learned from him how to do this, but wanted to use TLG's City Hub and - more importantly a tacho (PUp L) motor, to go with speed regulation but not power settings - to let the BR89 slowly negotiate what is in front of her - without loosing speed.
Let's further assume, I added a color sensor (TLG) to the engine, which "reads" the track.
Let's further assume, I made a 99% TLG brick built turn table embedded into an IKEA "Lack" shelf - to turn around the BR89, as I don't have any space anymore in my attic to accommodate a full circle of track for this beauty :D.
Let's further assume, the 3 axles on the BR89 are featuring flanged wheels, but she does negotiate TLG's curved track (OK, lame, I know, @Ben Beneke has done it decades ago with split axles).
And all that runs automatically on an ESP32/LEGOINO, telling the loco and the table what to do.
My question is: Where do I post this; in TrainTech or the Community Forum?
Best,
Thorsten
