The big helix in the first video is 10' outside diameter. The small one in the second video is 8' outside diameter. Double tracks are 4" centers.
Thank you Elliot. Those are the largest helixes I have seen. The large one would almost take up my daughter's room that I plan to use for my layout when she moves out. Your long equipment should negotiate them nicely, and you shouldn't have problems. Do you plan to cover them with scenery, view blocks, or leave them open for easy access? I'm full of questions, aren't I.
