Here is my planned method for building my aborted helix (who knows, maybe it isn't aborted, just paused):
The photo is from an article by Jeff Johnson, "Construct a Simple and Reliable Helix", in the April, 2008, issue of Model Railroader.
With the same height wood risers attached to the top of loop (n) and supporting the bottom of loop (n+1), there may well turn out to be some horizontal clearance issues with long locomotives with a wide overhang on the curve. With this method, Keith likely couldn't used leased D&RGW K-37s for C&S road power.
