I'm building a new N scale layout geared towards passenger trains, more specifically Amtrak. I'll also have a NS freight line as well. I'm using AnyRail. I want to add a helix to one end of my benchwork to connect the lower level, but can't figure how to do it. Anyone here good with AnyRail who maybe can help me with the layout design? I think I can share the file.
It is not that hard: A. Benchwork: https://appalachianrailroadmodeling.com/double-pinwheel-helix/ and https://www.modelbuildings.org/helix-design-calculator/ B. Anyrail: 1. choose a track radius and track length and inclination (make sure clearance is provided for the benchwork above from the hogher track) 2. make several copies of that piece of track 3. start with one connection to your existing track, fitting goes automatic 4. take a next piece of track, etc.. 5. at the end shorten the last piece to fit your outgoing angle.
