Many thanks. Forcing perspective is an effective device. I neglected to mention that the farm scene in the corner is scratchbuilt in 2mm scale with N scale cattle. Cheers
The way you use scenic elements to fool the eye is quite impressive. Not only is the helix disguised but the whole layout appears much larger than it actually is.
Thanks Caleb. On the current layout the helix feeds into the mainline junction. The mainline then feeds into the storage areas, one of which is under the helix. On the previous layout the lower helix fed down to a double-ended storage area. The other end of the storage area fed into a single helix that led back to the mainline. Cheers
Well done in every way possible. You capture the countryside perfectly with a beautifully detailed set of dioramas.
Thank you very much! Cheers
Awesome disguise.. just finished my top level and helix is pretty much in same spot and want to cover.
Given me some great ideas.
Cheers mate
Many thanks. I'm glad you found it helpful. Good luck with yours. Cheers
This is a great layout. It captures Australian colours and textures so well. Beautiful work.
Many thanks Peter.

Genius idea to cover the helix. Wow ! Beautiful layout and you have Alcos. Subscribed
Many thanks for the feedback. Pleased you like it. Yes, plenty of Alco branchline locos. I rather like them. Cheers

And in Wisconsin Central inspired livery. The maroon and gold really stands out.
Great job in blending it into the scenery, I also have done something similar, but use N scale on my HO helix to force perspective on top of my helix.

Very helpful! It's given me ideas for the helix I plan to start in the next few months. Thank you for posting!

Quite a clever use of space that in many cases goes to waste. Nicely done
Many thanks.

That looks brilliant! Does the helix feed down into a storage yard as well?
Thanks Caleb. On the current layout the helix feeds into the mainline junction. The mainline then feeds into the storage areas, one of which is under the helix.
