I can speak with some authority on this subject, as i have done just what you want to do; however i have used 16000 series LGB points (switches), which are pretty good quality.I have a curve as close as 200 mm (8") and this is different when it comes to facing, trailing straight and trailing divert. On the divert section you are in a curved state anyway; I have immediately changed my curve when leading out from divert.  With regard to on a gradient i have 3 points operating quite succesfully for a few years on a 4 % gradient. 2 of these are facing on the upward grade and 1 is trailing. 2 of them are part of a crossover situatiuon and they are all close together, so it isn't an easy situation at all.The important thing with all points and particularly if they are on a grade, is the camber ie the degree of levelness from side to side, not just of the points themselves but the track leading into them particlarly from a trailing directiuon.The idea of putting points on a slope has always been a big no no, but the people who talk in this direction have probably never done it ie old wives tales.Rgds Ian
