N gauge incline

Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, January 4, 2006 3:22 PM

I need some help. I am building an n gauge layout that is 4' x 8' and I would like to have an incline up to about 4 inches on one end. Is this possible?
At what angle do I incline the "ramp". Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What percentage of a grade do you want? 2% is usually the most you'd want to go, but for a mountain RR that hauls short trains you can go steeper, very few go over 4%.

This should help,....

Go to foam system, foam products, and then inclines.[8D]
