Trackmaster 1 Spiral

Inspired by GordonFlipFaceParty I decided to show how to make a Trackmaster 1 Spiral with Trackmaster Revolution risers, please bear with my formatting and posting because I don't know how to do format this properly. Hopefully someone can help with that if it doesn't look proper.

So first is a picture of everything you need because the most important part of making a custom spiral is foundation layout at the bottom. Then you just stack from there.
      

Image 1: you don't need as many risers or long elevation curves as I have but I'll let you know how many was used for the end result at the end.

Image 3: I bought several different Trackmaster track connectors that come from different sets (splash mountain, blue quarry, etc) just look for track connectors or track lots.

Image 4: I used a rotary Dremel (you can use whatever you want) to cut the necessary space for the risers (image 5) to sit on them (image 6)

So now here's the foundation laid out before stacking the risers:

In this image all the short curves and pillars in image 2 & 4 are used until right at the lone riser where your long curve pieces are going to start being used. The reason why you need long curve pieces is because you need the strength of the whole piece to be suspended in the air if you're going to use only 4 riser columns.

So now, here's a picture of the spiral complete (it can be shorter or taller obviously it's your preference:
 
And I added a straight descent so it can go over other Trackmaster sets (or you can make another descending spiral your choice).


As you can see from the final image the advantage of the long straight peice is that I could even put a single track connector to brace the track in the air so it won't get in the way of a destination set under it. 

So that's it! In total for this image it took 17 track connectors, 32 red risers, 2 orange risers (they're a little longer than the red one) 15 long curves and 2 long straights. (For the record, you'll need 3 long straights for this setup, I just didn't have enough room on the table, so maybe 2 more risers and track connector to be sure. 

I hope what I showed was informative and fun to do. 

PS: I introduced myself earlier today in the proper forum if anyone is interested.

Looks good Mitz and with a great idea for the riser modifications to fit. Thank you for the tutorial 👍

Thank you Super. I hope I will help more people in time.

And don't hesitate to show us all your ideas, modifications and customs as we love to have fresh blood around here with new ideas to motivate all to create. 😃

Will do i have so many things to remember I've done in the past. They're not all obvious to me to remember like...oh I just remembered! you know those Mr motorman products? Well the advance version (m4 engine) doesn't fit in Trackmaster Revolution trains as they are but I modified the packaging so it can be used on them going forward and get this, backwards! It's so cool. I'll upload those next it's night time here though (1 am) so next time.

That sounds interesting.
