2.3: Siskiyou Line - Multiple decks

Video type:
Summary:
7:57 - Multideck model railroad layout design issues (2005)
Description:
One way to get more model train layout is to multideck it. But multideck design can be tricky: how much separation between decks is best? How wide should the decks be and allow seeing all the lower deck? Joe Fugate tackles the tough multideck questions, helping your multideck model railroad design be the best it can be.
Note: This video was originally shot in older Standard Definition and then upsampled to HD for TMTV. As a result, the image is softer than is typical for TrainMasters native HD video.

Helix!!!
Hi Joe, I do understand the Helix problem in model railroading. But you are telling that a Helix is not prototypical....there are many places in the world were there are a sort of Helix:
tehachapi loop USA / Gotthard route (Switzerland) has 7 loops / 5 loops on the Albula/Bernina rail (Switzerland) and there are plenty more.
Greetings from The Netherland, no Helix found here ;-(

Not a helix
Strictly speaking, one climbing loop up and over is not a helix, it's a spiral loop.
