I'm not sure I see any space being allowed for insulation and what about temperature control in the helix area?
I can tell you from personal experience that temp and humidity extremes will play havoc with the track, and with limited access, it all could be a recipe for trouble. Something to think about now rather than later when the track gets all kinked up in a hard to reach confined space.

Using that sort of system works really nice with Peco because you can feel the spring pull the turnout points into place.Does anyone had more specific experiences with a specific one, and particularly with one for use with Pecos?
The box is just a tool. It isn't for anything other than a "ruler" to measure what clearance there is going to be when the helix is complete.I haven't a clue as to what I'm seeing here..You built a helix. OK, but what is this box for ? How is this employed in staging and in relation to the helix ? Is this a cassette of some kind ? M
