Well, all I'm hearing is helixes helixes helixes. If you want to transition between levels, <br />and want to get a longer mainline run, then simply add a grade that runs around the layout perimiter, it will add operational interest, and you'll end up with a longer mainline that you can see. That, an it's uncomplicated, no links and pins and pulleys needed. Think of it as a giant one-turn helix. And I don't have a gym to build my railroad in either, just an 8' x 16' space in my parents garage. I,m going for a track plan thats sorta a mushroom type, and when the layouts complete, I'll have a mainline of 112' ! <br />and its all thanks to the "around the walls helix" as I've dubbed it. Now that I'm out of school for the holidays, construction will begin soon. Just goes to show ya that 13 year olds know what they're doing. <br /> <br /> <br />P.S. That underground mine idea sounds like a winner!
