Glad you liked them. Those are some awesome locos :)
My double track helix has a 24" and 22" radius. It climbs 3" for every revolution. That gives me a grade of 2.17% on the outside and 2.38% grade...
Congrats Mark. This means you win a free one right? Looking forward to this too. Steve
Black it is. Should have everything then. :) Steve
Is that the paint you want them in Mark? Going to order some paint next week. Steve

First layout was a 4'x8'. Now my current layout is 11'x27'. Triple level. Bottom level is just a large staging yard, that could hold up to 30...
