Hide the helix
Author: santafedan

I am doing scenery for a fellow modeler. He had a requirement that he wanted to be able to stand in the helix. Here is the progress so far.

Two more views. There is another side to be completed over the hill to the right.

Nice work.  So cutting a hole in the floor under the helix wasn't an option?  It woulda made your job a little easier.

The Rogue Valley Model Railroad Club has a couple fire towers on their HO layout.  The closest one is N Scale, the far one is Z Scale.

Really nice looking, and a seemingly effective solution given the owners' requirement. I have my own helix to "hide" and your post helps nudge some ideas along. Thank you!

Here is another helix I sceniced for another modeler. I feel if you have a helix it should be part of the overall scenery. I adjusted the scenery so the trains passed on the double tracked helix outside the helix.
