I have a 4% grade that is 8 feet long, but I am currently planning to remove it as I expand my layout. My trains slow down quite a bit but seem to make it to the top. The problem is, I do not like how it looks as it is not very realistic. I would recommend that any grade over 2% be in a hidden area of the layout. Metal wheels on my rolling stock are a must for this situation. <br />Find a way to stick to 2% and try the woodland scenices incline sets- they make things a lot easier!
