Let me set the scene :
Like a good modeler (
) I'm using a couple of discarded coffee cans from work . They measure 4" diameter and 9" tall and are perfect for industrial towers of some sort on my layout . I'm putting them somewhat in the background , so want to build a spiral staircase in N scale ( on my HO layout ) , to force the perspective . So....
1. Would there be stairs on both towers or only one , with a footbridge connecting the two on top ?
2. Is there some way of figuring the slope of the staircase or do I just wing it by my eye ?
3. Any other suggestions ?
Thanks , T

To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential.
