I am trying to design a layout with hills, bridges, etc. and thought it would be a good idea to make the main level about 1.5 inches above the layout board which would allow me to drop that much on one line and rise that much on another without too much of an incline. I haven't tried inclines out but I am surprised that members seem to recommend only 2% or 3% inclines. <br />I am relatively new at attempting a layout. I am nearly 70 and I've got my son's quite big electric train set that I bought him some years ago and I thought I'd like to set up and run by computer (I am a programmer). <br />Brian. <br />
