NTS&B Riding on the completed North Pole Loop W Helix and Bridges-Pt 1

The North Pole Loop is completed for now, with no planned upgrades for a few years. This is part 1 of the video. The train took 16.5 minutes to make the loop, and youtube restricts the movie to 10 minutes. The movie was taken with a Samsung movie camera strapped to a flat car that was pushed with a MTH RR F3 with Loco Sounds and Cruise..

I just stumbled unto this looking for train videos for my grandson and I got say that I am so impressed and envious. Nice work! I really enjoyed it thanks for sharing.

What's the radius of the curves on the helix, and have you ever considered connecting any of the various levels of your layout? (I looked at a few of your other videos)

[rickbigs]

The track is 0-42 (Diameter) on the inside loop, and 0-54 on the outside. I originally had ALL loops tied together. By the time I got done, I could only run a few trains unattended and had some pretty bad grades. I decided instead to have lots of unconnected loops so I could run more trains at the same time

You're layout is just incredible to watch. You did a beautiful job on your extension bride on the ceiling. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
