This is a copy of posting I did in the Layout design sig at Yahoo! groups. If some of you here are contemplating a double decked N scale layout, I would suggest you follow the threads I have listed below. The following is what I wrote: <br /> <br />About a year ago I started a thread on Nolix's. In it I discussed <br />the history of the concept as coming from a John Armstrong design <br />that was never built - the Athabaska... something... can't quite <br />remember now. <br /> <br />Some members here were interested in the design concept but I had <br />nothing to illustrate what I had in mind. I am just beginning <br />construction of my own now. <br /> <br />Below are two threads in Trainboard in the layout design section. If <br />you follow the threads and read them all it is self explanatory. <br /> <br />http://www.trainboard.com/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=33;t=000176 <br /> <br />and <br /> <br /> <br />http://www.trainboard.com/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=33;t=000173 <br /> <br />Due to the reduced radius on N scale - 16 inches of N is about 30 <br />inches of HO - the nolix idea I think is more adaptable with less <br />space requirements in that scale. Particulary if you are in N and <br />are looking a double deck construction, you will find these links <br />interesting and perhaps move you from building a helix, to <br />constructing a nolix. <br /> <br />Rick Nicholson <br />aka: rsn48 <br /> <br /> <br />
