Why choose a Helix from Precision Model Railroad?
Helixes for all Model Railroaders, not just the experts!
Great news for model railroaders! Through clever design and modern laser cutting technology, Precision Model Railroad (PMR) makes helixes achievable by ALL model railroaders, not just the experts!
Clever Design
Our design vastly simplifies the knowledge and tools required. The helix parts are simply glued together and PMR helix kits include alignment jigs to take the guesswork out of construction. The design eliminates the overbuilt aspects of other helixes resulting in a lightweight, yet super strong helix that can be built at the work bench and installed on your layout once completed.
The Best Materials
Key to these great features is the use of birch plywood which is perfect for helixes. Birch is smooth and strong yet lightweight, making the helix easy to build, move and modify. Birch plywood is pliable enough to create smooth curves and transitions without the usual stress and tension of other designs. Despite its lightness, birch plywood helixes are strong, forming a solid addition to your layout.
An example of Helix kit contents is shown with our Double Helix Kit below.
Widest Range of Helix Kits
Most importantly, PMR laser cut helix kits come in the widest variety of radius and grade combinations. You want the helix that is the perfect fit for your layout's space and design requirements. Now you can add the helix that is best for your layout, rather than make your layout fit the helix you can get.
In addition to our incredible range of radius and grade, we offer both single and double track options for each helix, as well as a clockwise or counterclockwise ascending spiral direction.
