<p>Two or three years ago I saw a garden railway going from a house to a swimming pool that was a good 10 to 15 foot drop in elevation over a fairly short distance. It was a G scale, modern looking European type diesel. It made it up the steep grade because the track had a gear rack running between the rails and the engine had a corresponding gear underneath it that engaged the rack.</p><p>Does anyone know what brand of train that might have been and if they still make the engine and track?</p><p>Thanks, </p><p>Jim </p>
