I would also ask what should be the highest gradient you should go through for the Helix. <br /> <br />I am using Fleischmann Profi track for the project, which means that I am using both 6125 and 6120 the smallest radius curves for the Helix, this may not be ideal however I do not have much width to the room and subsequently this is the best I can achieve. <br /> <br />The radius curve of the two are 6125 = 36degree 420mm and 6120 = 36degree 356.5mm. <br /> <br />You can take a look at http://poseidon.redxpress.com/railway/helix1.JPG being top part of the Helix and poseidon.redxpress.com/railway/helix2.JPG being the part that joins the base layer. <br />
