This is an additional circuit kit for our a Helix Starter kit and is suitable for N gauge British Outline 2nd radius curved track ONLY  (Peco, Hornby or Bachmann)and has a track bed approx 36mm wide.  It can follow the starter kit in being built either rising clockwise or anticlockwise.

Our Helix kits are laser cut from 6mm thick lightweight Poplar ply, not MDF.  Poplar ply being a lot more stable and longer lasting than other substrates.  All joints are fully supported.

The circuit kit is to increase the total height of the helix by adding additional circuits and each circuit will rise approx 40mm.  With the starter kit giving you a height of approx 72 mm (allowing a starting height of 12mm from ground level to cover the initial nuts/washers and divider plate) you will end up with the following.

1 x Additional Circuit Kit + Starter Kit                   112 mm total rise in height.

2 x Additional Circuit Kits + Starter Kit                 152 mm total rise in height.

3 x Additional Circuit Kits + Starter Kit                 192 mm total rise in height.

4 x Additional Circuit Kits + Starter Kit                 232 mm total rise in height.

5 x Additional Circuit Kits + Starter Kit                 272 mm total rise in height.

The Inner circuit based on 2nd Radius curves of 263.5 mm has a gradient of 1 in 2.41%.

8x     1/8 circle sections with engraved lines to help with track alignment

8x  Connecting bridges including 8x inner segment guides, 8x outer segment guides
