Helix - A 2 part question | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Allan MartinezOGR Forum Member

1) How many videos do you think there are about Helix in detail please?

2) Is it possible for a Helix to be 2 tracks wide? (In other words 1 going up & the 2nd one going down independent of each other). I hope to hear from anyone about this.

1) I have no clue. I would guess thousands.

2) Of course it's possible. Both of mine have double track but only over half of the height. I've seen HO helixes that are 4 tracks wide. It is also possible to have the incline running in opposite directions, but that is less common, and perhaps less desirable.

This is one of my helixes.

Check this out!
