Joined: 19/06/2004(UTC) Posts: 1,412 Location: Home		In this variant I turned the station a bit to get more walking space around it. The Helix is now placed under the station level and starts at +50cm to +90cm. The station level itself is at +1,05m. Both the turn table and the transfer table will only be used as parking space for locs. So also this time no depot theme with scenery. Max ramp percentage: 3%. Layout overall view The ramp to the old station on level 1 (current table) will get a small station for some 'museum' material. Station area. More details will follow. Regards, Timaximus

Joined: 19/06/2004(UTC) Posts: 1,412 Location: Home		I simplified the layout a bit and removed the small shadow area at the south side. Instead of the shadow area we get a small shunting area at level '0' with a small elevation. Also the shuttle trains can stop here for a while. The exact position of the station plus helix frame can be justified later. Regards, Timaximus

Joined: 19/06/2004(UTC) Posts: 1,412 Location: Home		I optimized the layout a bit. The station (green tracks) is rotated 180 degrees and the length is increased with a 24188 piece. The helix is moved to the lower left corner. The main track (grey and black tracks) is kept at level +70cm and the station level will be at +110cm. Both the turn-table and the transfer-table are back on the station level. The red ramp can be connected from main track level to the station level as a light rail track or escape route. The shunting area (blue tracks) is also changed. Release candidate 1 Regards, Timaximus

Joined: 19/06/2004(UTC) Posts: 1,412 Location: Home		I spoke with my colleague today and he was surprised about the change and all the table sections that are removed at this moment. But he liked the RC1 very much. We discussed the available walking through space under the section between the helix and the station level. So I changed the shunting area a little bit to create more walking space between the table sections. That will give us a RC2. We have only one location we need to crouch a bit but the height is increased from +65 to approx. 105cm. So maybe we can start with the building process again soon. Regards, Timaximus

For the removable part between the helix and the station layer see the image below. The table for the shunting area will be modified along the edges, so the table you see on picture 5 can stay there.

Joined: 19/06/2004(UTC) Posts: 1,412 Location: Home		I make a plan for the coming period. This year we will focus on the base layer of the table. The shunting area is placed, the final pieces arrived yesterday, so now we can finish the table surface at this area. I also start gluing the second strip on the side of the 'parade' ramp. I planned a temporary loop at the end of the helix (removable) to drive around during the building period. That reduces the risk trains fall of when accidentally make a wrong switching action.

Red: stop, Blue: brake, Black: drive, Orange: stop or brake, Yellow orange: stop or brake, White: switching area. With 14m the helix will be the longest track section. The shortest track section between the two switching areas is 2.2m long. the 4 loops at the lower right will be used as hold sections for a short period. Regards, Timaximus

Joined: 19/06/2004(UTC) Posts: 1,412 Location: Home		Today father finished the last table sections. So the table surface for the base level is nog ready for the rubber and the table borders from bendable Triplex. Today I was the assistant and meanwhile i sorted the remaining track parts and cleaned the table in the other areas. The rubber what is left is not enough for the large shunting area so I need to order new first. The short parade track is now stiffened with bending Triplex at both sides. So also the rough table structure at this side is finished. Regards, Timaximus

Joined: 19/06/2004(UTC) Posts: 1,412 Location: Home		Below the new Signal plan for building fase 1, the main track level. We decide to place signals on the main level also. That is because you can see almost every track through the very open table layout. The layout for fase 1, besides the temporarily loop, is finished. We hope to finish the table borders tomorrow and start with the scenery fase next time. The temporary loop will be built during the scenery fase. The speed of progress is not as it was before but that is because my companion is in Chemo session now. So sometimes he felt not so good to build. But we both enjoy the building still like before. And that is the most important thing. But not much photo’s the coming period, sorry for that. I also will connect some power wires so the little Hobbit can enjoy the hobby again also. Best regards, Timaximus

We finished the table borders and updated the Helix. Now we are able to stand inside the helix and can reach everything around it. After laying the rubber and connecting the wires we can start with the scenery at level 0 , the main track. Regards, Timaximus

But before that we cut the turn outs shape in the table top layer. So the decoders and actuators are reachable for maintenance. I also finished the signal plan. with 27 old vorm signals from VIESSMANN and 55 new light signals from Märklin Regards, Timaximus

Joined: 19/06/2004(UTC) Posts: 1,412 Location: Home		I make a small modification in the track layout to make the connection between the Helix and the Loop + Station section at level 1 more flexible to build. To do that I changed the C-track into K-track Flex. Now the position and angle can be compensated with the Flex track (purple) on the adapter plate. Regards, Timaximus

The power connections of the movable table section is finished. I wired the Helix and found a solution for the wiring. Me and my son did some test driving during the holidays. He likes and chose every train on the tracks. Started with the installation of the Uhlenbrock Power 3 Boosters Schematic for the layout with signal-, switch- and feedback contact numbers.

I finished the feedback wiring of station 'Zuid' and start with the LocoNet network infrastructure. There are some changes in the feedback contact plan for station 'Centraal'. These changes are updated on the schema below. >>> Overall track, signal and feedback contact schema. Regards, Timaximus

Because of your reply we went to the train room and found the light signals we need to test and program before we can place them along the track. This winter I will spend a lot of time with the testing, programming and placing all the signals. There will be a lot of them, form and light types. And still 20 entry light signals are missing and need to ordered at my supplier. Hopefully I finish the signal business this winter so we can start with the scenery next winter. But first I need to check the last status from the last winter, installing the feedback contacts, switch engines and rail decoders. I do not know where I stopped before summer. My son already started with the scenery and place some snow pieces along the layout. Regards, Timaximus

The administration of the decoder addresses etc. was faulty so I need to correct this first in Excel. Klick on image to show an larger version After an inspection I realized that I still need to place 4 switch actuators and some feedback connections inside the Central Station. Hopefully the signals are working next week. Regards, Timaximus

I've just read through the whole of this and I'm amazed, the complexity is beyond me, when I start on my layout it's going to look a bit tame after this. You are a very skilled man and I'm going to copy your helix, mine won't be as big as I only need two layers. John.

This track section is a short parade track so the border in front is kept low. When the scenery is finished a Plexiglass fence is placed. After the building activity we drive with the trains for a while. Grandpa enjoyed this day. It was a long time ago we build together for the last time. So, grandpa was very happy that he was able to came over this day. Meanwhile I am placing the rest of the signals, approx. 80 pieces. Signals S5.13 and S5.14 (right) and signals S5.11 and S5.12 (left) Current work place (temporary) Regards, Timaximus
