Well for what seems like an eternity, bench work for the FWWR main deck has started. Staging Yard is complete and now addressing the helix to main deck meeting.

Nice Helix

From the photograph that helix looks like it is made from plastic or is commercially available.  If you bought it, where did you acquire it?  If you built it yourself, it looks really nice.

HELIX

I purchased it several years ago from Easy Helix with the idea to add on to it as the layout grows. Bad choice on my part as they are no longer in business. I bought the 2-1/2 lap version to go from staging to main level. Now I'm going to need to build my own.

beautiful plan

I just finished skimming back through your previous blog posts and I gotta say, man, you've got a very impressive looking plan. You don't see many dedicated port layouts, and most of the ones you do are set in the '50s. I model the 50's too, but it is pretty neat to see a modern port layout. Good luck and thoroughly looking forward to more progress.

Good start

Glanced back at your blog and found the track plan in your earlier posts.  Looks like a nice plan, and I'm eager to see how it turns out.

Helix

I purchased that same helix and have extra turns. Did you purchase the 8 ft or 9 ft version?
