I have been experimenting with magnetic track. So far I have acomplished 9% with the gandy. IT WILL BE DONE! (says the crazy guy). I am also trying a chain lift/ helper. The lift moves at the same speed as the car, grabing it seemlessly and helping it up. My layout is going to be 80% down hill. 10% of the up is visible and the other 10 brings the car back to the top under the layout. I have 5 downs that are 10 to 15%. 2 of the downs are 32in long at 10%. The ups are no more than 4% FOR NOW. Thanks pcarrell for having faith in my cause. I will keep trying until I am happy.
