Wow, thanks for answering the question is such detail, without making me feel like the dummy. I wrote a small program a while back that helps me in MR. I call it ModelCalc. Basically it does three things. First it calcs scale speed. Second it calcs grades. Give it a distance and elevation, and it will calc grade %. Give it needed grade % and elevation and it will calc distance needed. Once calculated, give it how many risers or how frequent the risers need to be and it will calc the height of each riser. Lastly it also converts measurments to and from scale. I use this part a lot when scratch building buildings. Input an actual size, it will display on screen the scale size of the item. Both in numeric form and graphically. The cool part is you can hold a scale part up next to your screen, click the mouse on both sides of the part and it will give you the proto size. I originally tried to sell it to raise some money for a non profit model rail orginzation I was involved with. I finally gave up trying to get the org off the ground. Now i just give the program to friends who want it. So if anyone wants to use it, let me know. I'll email you the setup. If there's interest I'll post a couple of screen shots so you can see it.
