After seeing Elliot's great helixs, I wondered if he, or someone else here, could do this in O gauge? This clip is HO.

I don't believe any big boy could handle it - this job can be done by an Allegheny hands down!
Thanks for the video clip, very interesting.
The ideas some guys have is simply amazing.
If you look closely, there are many locomotives spread through the consist. This evens out the pull and keeps them from clothslining. I seriously doubt one or two engines would be able to do that.
Very clever presentation.
Hypnotic!
No Lionel or MTH Big Boy's on a spiral.

He means forum member BigBoy_4005 also known as Elliot. He has 2 large helixes on his layout
OH Bill! Makin' me dizzy.
I actually have one of this guy's videos in my Youtube playlist, but he has one upped himself with this one. The flyover is perfect, and now he can throw it into reverse. The helix is simple by comparison.
No!
There are many interesting layouts on the forum. this is a good one.

Cause it gets you a lot of hits on Youtube.
Given the time and money; why not? What do you do with it after it's finished?
That's just plain cool!!!!

Tom, I don't think he's ever really finished. Note the pile of unused track on the floor. He has done larger versions of this concept. Here's the one I mentioned earlier, 9 engines and 243 cars.
This is great
definely an eye catcher
