After my abysmal attempt at track laying and having increasing issues with warped track, it was time to revamp and make something not only more functional, but more interesting.

Currently I can only run one train at a time, safely, I plan to fix this.

I wanna have to layers running at once, and I think I figured out how to do it!


The above is my current progression on my revision.

The helices are 8.5" tall with a grade of 1.6% and 14" radius! The minimum radius outside of the yard is also 14" so far. The actual yard has a minimal radius of 12". Which is a huge improvement compared to the 11" curves in the original track plan.

The helices will take the train down from the mountain to the lower level where the industries will be located, and hopefuly return loops on each end so that a train can operate on the lower level.... I think I'll build the upper level and then build the lower section once I have to the top completed.


now who has good plans on building a helix? Cus I have no idea how!
