I recall something along those lines with the last year or so. It was a short section of track (maybe 2 or three sectional, or one flex), with a coupler gauge at one end, and a "ruler" along one edge that converted length to recommended NMRA weight. <br /> <br />The weigh station was a separate scale (postal/kitchen?). I don't remember anything about an incline, but if you put your track on a section of 1/2" ply or similar, you could always cut blocks that would raise it by specific amounts - say 1/2% steps. <br /> <br />One of the handiest connections you could have is a DPDT centre-off switch that would allow you to connect your DCC system and flip between run and programming track. That way you do not have to remove the loco to check if any programming took effect. <br /> <br />Andrew <br />
