Dieser Lift verbindet die beiden Ebenen / this Elevator is connecting both levels

Der Zug fährt in den Lift (Halbkreis), dann fährt der Lift vertikal zur anderen Ebene und der Zug kann wieder ausfahren.
Das ist natürlich eine Eigenkonstruktion.

The train is rolling into the elevator (half circle), afterwards the elevator is moving vertical to the other level and the train can exit.
The whole mechanism is custom built by Paul.
