Grade maximum on an HO Layout
Edit post

Post Body
Enter your post below.
My HO layout is 10'x12' and I have grades up to 6.5%. I have 2 Bachmann 3 truck Shays, a Rivarossi 2 truck Heisler, and a Bachmann 10 wheeler. My freelance theme is mountainous with the emphasis on logging and mining. With DCC it is a natural to MU the 2 Shays to haul 20 cars, although most of my trains consist of 5-7 cars. The Bachmann 10 wheeler will only pull 3 passenger cars up those grades. Hope this helps.....
