I've been in N Scale for about ten years now, and before that in HO. If you want to pull any size train at all in N Scale, figure on at least eight and a half feet of run for two inch rise. This is a tad less than two percent grade. One needs about two inches to cross over another track in "N", three inches in "HO". Buy engines that have all four axles powered - no two axle powered stuff sometimes offered. For thinner purses, Lifelike engines are good, especially the SD 7/9s, also Atlas although they cost more. Good luck. -Greenriver.
