Laying track can be a big enough challenge even when it's done on a flat, straight section, but when curves are involved it gets a bit more delicate. So on a helix with it's long continuous curve you have to be ready with your "A" game. In this video I'll show you how I lay flex track on the 30" radius curves of my big helix to get smooth, flowing curves that will make it easier for my trains to ascend the 19 inches between the staging yard level and the main level of the layout. So let's bend some iron!
