I asked Kevin your question, and he said this: "I use the Kato super-elevated double track (Kato product numbers 20-185 and 20-186). The radius of the two tracks are 18 7/8" and 17 5/8" respectively." He said that he didn't have room to do a nolix, or he would have preferred it.
I grew up in the Davis / Sacramento area but I don't recognize this crossing of the Sierra Nevada. Is the a protolance layout location. I have been an SP fan since those years in the 70's and 80's and by the mid-late 80's got hooked on the D&RGW but still a fan of the SP.
Lotsa work and Detail evident. Stillll ...The Stereotypical "Toy Train' signature artifact: FAR too small radius curves, are Always included. Clearly NO Toy Train Builder is willing to NOT use every square inch of Layout space.. Even if it means Silly tight radius curves . Ones rarely if Ever found in Real life.. for obvious reason.

this is an awesome layout
We agree!
Next level work. Awesome job!
Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Wow! The N Scale Layout probably costs as much as a nice Ferrari.
Beautiful, beautiful!!!
Operating Sessions must be fantastic.
All perhaps true. Thanks for your comment.
Seeing a controlpoint named "Raymond" maked me click on the "thumbs up" button straight away!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice, what’s the radius Kato track used on the helix? Any thoughts on helix vs nolix?

I don't believe so. I think this is a fictional crossing location.
Is it possible to get the part number of the Kato track used in the helix?
Kato 20-185 and Kato 20-186.

Definitely a lot of compromises in every model railroad, that's for sure!
