Hello all, I am building a rather large ho scale layout ( Springfield,MO. to Fort Smith, AR ) an old frisco line. But I am adding a very deep and rather large valley ( just because I want one and think it would look realy cool with a stretched S tresel bridge over it ) with an old steamer running the mine cars in/out. Not liking the thought of a helx or the space to build one, I want to have an open side elevator so that I and others can see the train going up and down.The height I am needing to travel is 2-3 ft straight up to the main line level. Any help would be good. The valley is 4 ft wide, 3 ft deep, 2-3 ft high. The track will come out of the valley by way of the front of the bench running the length of the bench on the outside on an unfinished out ledge to a diaroma of a small station where the train will stop and be taken up to the mainline level at another small station to be on it's way to the docks for unloading, then return the same way with empty cars. I was thinking something like an old freight elevator with doors on both ends. Wish you all could see the picture in my head. [:)] . Thank you all for any and all your help. GreenIron
