The amount of time, materials, money, inspiration, patience and talent imagined to design, build and finish what you have shared with us is overwhelming in every regard.
Thank you. Time is the main issue. I just completed level 12 of 16. I am on a schedule to finish it this December, after a building time of two years. Can't wait to go back to working on the layout itself and do some landscaping.
Hi, I designed it myself and bought the components (spindle drive and structural components) on www.dold-mechatronik.de. There will be another video coming up on construction and software, but that might take a while.
@@traintrombone8515 Excellent this looks great. A vertical train lift is such a good solution to space problems and can provide a lot of train storage. I have been working on a design too - but only in small scale as yet - not done a full size yet. Ultimately I want mine to be essentially a combination level changer and "Parking" area for trains which means it will need to be multi-deck. My design uses two motors which are controlled by two processors and the deck has an inclinometer which both processors can read and adjust their speed to keep the deck dead level. Each end of the lift has pinhole light sensors to ensure it is aligned with the connectiong track on the fixed level. My hope is that this will mean that as the llift wears and things like the track underlay compresses by a mm or two the registration can be adjusted automatically to compensate. A long way to go yet though!
@alanmusicman3385 Sounds like a thorough scientific approach. I thought of wear/sensor drift/mechanical distortion as well, but decided to include a small trim function in the software (+ and - button) to deal with it. I rarely need to use it.

I love seeing New and Old Tech getting unified like this... Bravo
I really like to see model train lifts developed further…they seem like a great alternative to helix access to staging yards.
That thing is on another level. (pun intended)
It is even a good pun.
Excellent layout, would love to see more. Thanks for sharing
Very impressive, well-done
Präzisionsarbeit vom Feinsten, TOP :-)
Never seen that before!
Wow is it old marklin track for the whole layout?
How to build a train lift like this one? Maybe just not so big
Beyond cool
Grandios.
Excellente pièce d'ingéniérie. Mécanisme précis. Fantastique dans l'ensemble. Pourquoi avoir fait un étage supérieur à votre ascenceur?
**jaw hits floor**
That is awesome! Will you be doing a video about its construction? Is it a commercial product or your own design?

I tip my hat to you sir!👍
Thank you! 🙏
That's Incredibles❤
Impressive!
krass :)
MEGA Klasse ABO und LIKE dagelassen.
That is amazing!!!! ......but so unrealistic....
Haha, you are right, but is only meant as a storage area. As you can see from 1:10 it feeds a layout which comes closer to reality.
WOW
What scale? (or guage)
It is H0.
Do you go digital?
Yes, all digital. The BR89 I just converted with an ESU Loksound Nano and this was it's maiden journey.
How do you do with the metallrails (M-Gleis von Märklin)? Do not interfere with driving? Thanks!
No problem at all. M-Gleis can be perfectly used for digital driving.
