I have 4 % grades and i wish i didn't, but i had no choice, mix this with R3 curves and you need a locomotive with lots of traction; power is irrelevent if you don't have traction. <br /> <br />If you go to metric grades as a percentage are very easy measure your height in centimetres and divide by the distance im metres X 100 and Voila. grades in degrees is very similar, too small to worry garden railway people. <br /> <br />I have got over it by utilising powered tenders, makes all the difference. <br /> <br /> <br />Rgds Ian <br /> <br /> <br />Rgds ian
