HELIX HELP

Posted by MOSEMAN on Tuesday, March 4, 2008 2:32 PM

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET STEP BY STEP PLANS OR INSTRUCTIONS FOR BUILDING A HELIX IN N SCALE. SURELY IT IS NOT A DIFFICULT AS IT SEEMS.

THANKS

Ask and you shall receive. See the latest (April) Model Railroader. There is a nice helix article in this issue. Just change the radii to fit your needs for N scale.

I just got Model Railroad Planning 1997 out of the local Library.

Page 72 "A primer on helix design" How to deal with a complex but useful element of multideck layout.

I was just about to say that. I thought it was HO, though. I think it works in all scales, though. I have no need for a helix on my layout, so I haven't read it yet, but I will read it soon.
