Hi gang

I'd like to know where I can buy a helix kit for R2/R3 double track.

There are quite a few manufacturers in Germany but I can't find them on the web here in Canada.

Can you help me ?


Thank you in advance. It will be much appreciated

Thanks for the reply...which doesn't help me much `: I don't have a workshop or garage to do any woodwork of this kind.

I'll already have to use my imagination to build my wooden frame in an 8' x 4' storage unit.

I'm sorry, but replies like "It's not complicated to make it yourself", etc., etc., etc. .... will not be commented on.

I don't have a workshop !!!!!

I used helix kits from this company for my layout.

Hmm, seems they are not keen on their product, no pictures of anything, at least on the helix section.

I'd like to at least visualise the product in my mind before purchasing.

Just find a dealer of NOCH product, they have some single and double track helix

Hi Pefu thank you

But there's a big problem: shipping from Europe to Canada seems to be causing problems for many people in Europe.

As far as you, the UK, are concerned, it's probably been since you left the European Union.

And as far as Canada is concerned, the European Union considers Canada to be part of the USA, and it's back to Trump's "USA first" message.

Europeans, Canada is not the USA, so get that through your head!

When I think that for many French and Belgian people, Canada is still full of teepees... it's ridiculous!

Ah Pefu

Because 1- the one you referred doesn't ship to Canada (it says so in their terms of delivery) but I read it in a hurry I must admit
2- all the companies I consulted on the web don't ship to Canada
3- because you seem to forget that I'm European by origin and that I still have a lot of contacts in my native country, who confirm that the number of small companies exporting to Canada is plummeting and that this is due to a deliberate EU policy .... which, let's not forget, is one of the reasons why I left my native country.

To back up what I'm saying, please read the comment by member from the UK

In any case, if I don't manage to import on my own, I still have the option of going through my son who still lives in my native country....but it's longer and a bit more expensive, but I've already done it several times.

To get back to this famous helix, I think I've found the solution: adapt the helix I have.

Have a nice day
