Wanapitei Helix – 2011

Wanapitei Helix – 2011

After having stalled for quite a while due to work effort being directed elsewhere, the Wanapitei helix is a bit closer to being finished. Track is completely laid up to the top turn of the helix; once spline is laid through Stinson, that will be able to be connected to the helix. Quite visible here is the double tracks entering from left to complete a turnaround loop around the helix. These tracks will connect Coniston to Wanapitei and to Falconbridge. A helix is an investment in space, and since the WRMRC layout uses so many helices and hidden tracks the layout is designed to make the most of these investments by putting multiple helices and turnaround loops in the same physical space.
