As this question will no doubt exemplify, i am just re-entering the world of model railroading and would like to know how I discover what seems to me as very basic information: specifically, what is an acceptable "radical grade" for the average HO train locomotive to negotiate while pulling rolling stock? I am in the planning stages for creating a "layout" and would like to know what the "edges of the envelope are" just so I do not violate them. I am certain there are other "tecnical" issues that need to be considered before I let my imagination run unbridled. Can anyone point me in the directions for this research? I will be appreciative (as well my grandchildren who wish me to get beyond the planning stages.) <br /> <br />
