I finally set up a scene in which to Photograph the Mantua 2-6-6-2, as a 2-6-6-2T with tender, and some of the log cars.
Yes, the diorama is the O scale diorama, but it works well enough. First, the loco:
Next, the reworked IHC Barnhart loader and a log flat, both flats are IHC, with the decks removed, and rails laid for the Barnhart:
The next shot is a pair of the ERTL flats, converted to log flats:
And Last, the Shinnecock Hills Lumber Company caboose:

building a helix from scratch? |

I'm going to be adding a pair of helicies to my latest layout revision, and I'm trying to decide if I should go with a premade kit (like the one Ashlin Trains supplies) or if I should build my own.
14" radius with a 6" or 8" gain in elevation for one helix (depends on what the final measurements are once I'm done my planning... I'm thinking it will be an 8" change in elevation though)
And if this plan works the way I want it too (which I'm seriously reconsidering this part because of the complexity it will require) is a 20" helix with an off ramp @ "8 inches.
No need for the helix to be double tracked (in fact, I think I'd perfer if it wasn't!)
How hard is it to create one yourself?
I assume it would be as simple as buying a sheet of 4x8 thin plywood, then cutting it up into the strips you need then using four beams @ each 1/4 level attach the strips to each beam for the desired height... much like a 4x8 plywood cookie-cutter layout?
Because if thats the case, it should be fairly easy!
Especially if it's a 2" seperation between levels. The hardest part would be cutting it up no?
