Probably not very applicable to your situation, but I'm building a shelf layout and connecting the upper level by using a couple of switchbacks and a fairly steep grade. Pretty much will just push log cars up it. <br /> <br />Thought about a removeable helix but thought I'd give the switchbacks a try first. No historical prototypes in my area of the Adirondacks but over in Vermont there was a logging road switchbacking up the Green Mountains at a 6% grade. <br /> <br />Wayne
