Hi Toolbox Guy, <br /> <br />I used the WS incline starter. At the very beginning, I smoothed it out a bit more using 1/64th plywood. This has generally been effective. Although theory would tell us otherwise, in practice it appears to me that the geometry of beginning the incline is less troubling to locomotives than the geometry of ending it. <br /> <br />I have a single loco (actually small 2-8-0) whose cowcatcher is so close to the rails that it has a problem at the beginning of the incline. I've known for years about this problem with this loco and now will have to do something to raise the frame a bit.
