I am in the process of laying out a rather elaborate garden rail, probably a mistake for a first timer but education is expensive isn't it? My question, this time is one of grade. To my knowledge the steepest mainline is 7% (Saluda Mtn, Saluda NC) which is very steep. Is a G scale capable of such a steep grade with say 15 rolling stock and 2-3 engines? I have to rise from 0" to 48" over about 25 feet which gives me roughly a 7% grade. Any experienced voices on this would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise I will just have to try it and see.
