Building A Helix The Easy Way

Submitted by WebAdmin on Fri, 01/29/2010 - 22:39

This clinic outlines a method for building an open center helix that has been featured in Model Railroader.

[Editor's Note: What is a helix? A helix is a climbing or descending curve of track which turns around an axis like a corkscrew. They are sometimes used on multilevel layouts to allow trains to go from one level to another in a relatively small space.]

Homemade Tree Cyclone

Submitted by WebAdmin on Mon, 01/11/2010 - 08:06

This tree maker is easily made for less than $25.00 from a handful of materials in under 2 hours. Use an empty barrel from Utz Pretzels if you can find one. I used an Utz Cheese Balls container, which is a couple of inches shorter. Utz Cheese Balls are available from Tri Town Foods in Portland. (Anyone finding Utz Pretzel barrels, please let me know). Cheese Balls are $5.99, the most expensive item on the list. While you are eating the Cheese Balls, accumulate the rest of the items on the list!
