[BCMA] Model Railway Helix - To Give Away

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Hi Wendy,

Here is the info my train guys have on the helix:
"The helix kit is made out of wood as a base for HO, N and maybe Sn3
gauges.  The purpose is to raise a train to another level and double the
size of a basement layout.  The principle is similar to that of the
Spiral Tunnels on the CPR at Field, BC."

Admittedly I am ignorant of how to set it up, but I did measure the pieces
and it seems it has a 46.5" diameter.

As of yet unclaimed, though a few expressions of interest!
