I am in the process of designing (then building) my first railway. <br /> <br />I have an area where the plan is to put in a rock fountain (mountain scape). <br /> <br />Or better yet - Mt. Chuck :) <br /> <br />Can the 1:29 scale climb a grade - to go up and around the fountain? <br />(not in the fountain - but around it - I am not that new) <br /> <br />The hopeful mid-level climbing height (altitude) of the proposed Mt. Chuck railway passage is about 3ft-ish. If so, what grade or angle can they climb (and go down without the obvious pitfalls). I would assume the track metal used etc. would have some impact on this as well. Any comments on locomotive type, ideas, problems encountered, accessories to assist in the climb, etc. would be appreciated. <br /> <br />Thanks <br />Chuck <br />
