Here's a few pictures I took of the April 17th PNLTC gathering where we
built a helix for Ben Fleskes:

We had a lot of fun running trains up and down. It took almost 20
seconds for a car to coast down the whole thing. We played with a
variety of trains, discovering which ones worked and which didn't.

For our next meeting, I'm thinking of bringing some 12v stuff so we can
see how 12v trains compare to 9v (by running 12v conductors down the
center of the 9v track).

(...) The helix is so cool. As far as 12v conductors go, I've found that they need to be modified slightly to fit over the studs on the added ties. Did you find a way around this? Mark (22 years ago, 19-Apr-02, to lugnet.trains)
