When I decided to add a second level to my home layout I realized that I would have to construct a helix to connect the two levels as I didn’t have the room to have sufficient length to gain the needed height. I researched and built a single track helix that worked in the available space and now have both levels accessible by locomotives.
The clinic I have developed walks you through the necessary steps to design and construct a helix and also has information on what not to do when building one. From my time as a model railroader I know there are folks that don’t understand how a helix is designed and constructed thus the purpose of my clinic. Many lessons learned in building mine that I can pass along.
