Stunning work David, love it

Lovely work Wiggy, its hard not to look at the background, you have so much stuff to look at:-bd

Hi David, if the pictures are under 2mb each they should upload

No worries, have a special on baseboards till the end of May, 20% off if your looking for a 6' x 4' it would normally be €220 with legs special offer would be €176

That's a pity BabyGM, its always a pain ripping up a layout and starting again. Something I'm about to do. Best of luck with the next one:tumbsup:

Very nice work, SSM kit really sets them off

Lovely work there Eamonn, your way ahead of me. Best of luck with it

Looks great, love the amount of stock you have.

You would need to keep those windows bricked up

Jeez lads, what do ye be up to at that hour of the night Love the station Anthony, very nicely weathered. Track looks great too very realistic.

Lovely work there John, I love the corrugated shed

Nice work Wiggy

The levels are 3" apart. I copied Everard Junction's method, see

 

If you get your levels right then it's down to how good your Loco traction is. I've pulled a rake of 10 coaches but the Loco was protesting at that. 6 or 7 coaches should be no problem if you are pulling up the Helix rather than pushing. I would not recommend a Helix for Steam Locos as a rule but I did manage a rake of 6 coaches with my UTA Jeep.

The main consideration to building a helix is the radius, in 00 radius 3 is the minimum you should go. The smaller the radius the greater the incline so go as big as you can.

Try to keep the height between levels as low as possible.

You can never have too much stock:tumbsup: Did you lay the track on the helix before or after assembly?

Jeez, that's close

Very nice Anthony, love the changes great weathering as usual

Great videos
