I'd like to see some closer up shots of how you made the spirals. Nice layout!

Have you see the video with our homemade spirals?

Apologize for the late reply Dan. Your spirals are innovative. I'm making the down spiral today, so I will take some close ups for you. The main thing I did was screwing the curve pieces together with tiny screws so they didn't come apart. I also built the spiral that way because I only had the new trains and they do not climb the older track to well.

Our daughter has taken over the dining room table with her Thomas stuff. She said she'd like a spiral from the floor to the table. This is what I've come up with so far. The pitch is 15 inches per revolution. That's the pitch of the steepest of my two spirals in my video. There are two leads. One for up and the other for down. It's still in the virtual mode. LoL~!
