Mark <br /> <br />I am very interested in your problem and i will do my best to offer what help i can. <br /> <br />Do you mean 10 % or 10 degrees ? I admit neither are very nice and their is no oway you can handle this except :- <br /> <br />a) run a traction or cog railway up ypour 10 deg they will go up to 25 % but are incredibly slow. <br /> <br />b) Divert your track and go through a series of "S" bends as i have had to do in my area 3. but i only had about 5 to 6 % to contend with and i got that down to a maneagable 4 % which even at that, you need powerful locomoties with plenty of traction like a Mallet or a Crocodile. It will kill a Mikado it will hardly be able to pullits own weight. Don't even think about anything else but LGB. <br /> <br />C. Get some machinery in and make your area morer level. <br /> <br />Would you like to send me a surface plan of your situation. <br /> <br /> <br />Do you have a water level or laser level to detrmine the correct topography of your situation. <br /> <br /> <br />Rgds Ian
