hdavis - <br />Please keep in mind that the maximum grade which you want to deal with is 5%. That translates 5 inches of height, either up or down, for every 100 inches of track length. Even 5% is quite steep but that is the max. The reason being is not so much of your train not being able to go up the grade, its when it comes down. The power setting used to get your consist up the grade will be way to much for it to come down. You want to set a speed for the train and let it run. If you have to slow it down to get it down the incline then you will not be a happy camper. Please consider grade when planning your layout. Hope to see more posts by you in the future. Good Luck and have fun. <br />Pete <br /> <br />
