Eggliner and Helix

Track and Trestles
#1

I built a double Helix to run my eggliners and speeders. The Helix would be great for placing around a Christmas tree. This Helix may possibly be displayed at HAGRS with the WAGRS exhibit.

There is a YouTube video about the Eggliner and Helix here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3LkM5wRis4 JimC.

Jim,

I like it! Nifty idea! :slight_smile:

#3

Cool! Is it all the same radius, or did you mix sections of different radii?

#4

Thanks, HJ and Ray.

The Helix is made from a mixture of LGB 15000 curves and Aristo 4ft diameter [R1] curves. The trestle bents are the Aristo graduated set.

New improved track supports replace the straight sections of track at the highest point in the Helix.

All sections of track and trestle have been numbered[1-24]/lettered[a-z]for ease of re-assembly at HAGRS. JimC.
