Yes tou are correct in that it is a constant grade around the room to gain enough elevation to get to the next level. The theory is that you see your train all the time and you don't have to waste space on a helix. Presuming you don't want to run through the same scene twice, It will take 100 feet of run to climb 2 feet at a constant 2% . Most rooms are smaller than this (minimum room size @ 25' X 25'). The other issue is that the whole bottom deck is on a grade....The nolix guys have come up with solutions (less distance between decks etc.)....I believe that Orsonroy is using the concept, maybe he will chime in here...
