Cheyenne turntable

Anyone know the length of the Cheyenne turntable. I'm getting conflicting reports between 120 'and 126". Big boys have a 117'7" wheel base. And while I have your attention, I'm looking for plans to build a turntable in gauge one.  1:32 or .375 per inch.  Anyone have an idea to obtain plans for the Cheyenne table or one like it or even near in size ?

Thank you

The 126-foot diameter continuous span type turntable and control house were constructed in 1941 and replaced a smaller turntable dating from 1911.
