Dusty <br />I started with that track plan and gave up a and went flat with a crossover, the 4% grade would only allow 4-5 cars in the short space, with my diesels and 1-2 with steam, flat I can run cars completely around the track and bump the caboose with the engine, but I usuall only run 8-9 cars on that track , it looks better on the 2x4 layout. I modified the track plan into two separate tracks and I can run 2 trains at the same time, looks neat when they pass each other going in opposite directions. Besides I live in Florida and there are no mountains, serious hills or tunnels in the state, it's just flat with a lot of water. Set up a test and see how many cars your engines can pull up a 4% grade in that short distance and you will see what I mean. Go Flat <br />Bee Line <br />
