[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by challenger3802 The reason I say 1 in 12 is that for every 12 inches along my trackbed rises 1 inch. And for the loads being drawn up the incline every engine I has wil cope quite well. (The stations only cater for 2 carriages and a loco anyway!) Ian [/quote] Ian, an eight percent grade that you are describing is incredibly steep. I think you may be confused because earlier you said that you had a 4% grade then a 2% grade then a 4% grade then a level plane. Immediately after that you said that was equivolent to 1 in 12 then 1 in 24 then 1 in 12, which is completely wrong. Are you using the Woodland Scenics inclines? if you are, each section of 4% and 2% is 24", not 12". Just my thoughts, Reed
