If you have the space for a helix to join the two levels together, then use it for a helix; it would be better than two seperate layouts. Why not create a mythical branch line that serves as an interchange between your two favourite lines. If Line A is over there and Line B is over here and there is sixty miles between them, then draw a line between the two of them, create a town or two with a yard and model that. <br /> <br />Modelling trains is a series of compromises unless you have a gymnasium as your layout space. One friend of mine is modelling a very scenic route in British Columbia, the problem is that he wants to have "operations" on a line that just wasn't that busy. His solution: he created a land slide that closed down to major lines so they had to divert through his modelled area, now he has the traffic to give him sufficient "operations." In your scenario, create a line to bring your two favourites together, you will probably have more fun with this arrangement rather than two seperate layouts working independently of each other.
