NTS & B Helix exit track / graduated trestle complete

The lower helix exit is mounted on the Lionel Graduated Trestle set, bringing the helix loop down to the winter level. At this level, the track will make a raised loop over the mainline yard, and then go back up the other track on the trestle. The winter table top has been repainted white, to faciliate the upcoming snow.

NTS & B Helix Wiring Cleaned up & Norway Pics

I finally got time to clean up the wiring at the bottom of the helix (See June 27, 2008 post). I wanted to try to get the winter layer going so I could set up a Christmas scene, but decided I had to get the helix wiring done first.

Of course, I had to take a little 'detour' to Oslo, Norway for 2 weeks also. Here are a couple pictures of Oslo, and a nice little train store we visited while there.
