better not forget to set the car brakes jet!! I was at a fellow's layout the other day pulling a train up a 2.5% grade. Anyway, the engines broke free from the train and the cars went screaming down the hill! Luckily somebody was there to catch them before they hit the curve. But, I digress. 8% grade is WAY too steep. Although one of the guys in my club has a layout with a 25% grade spur and the cars get winched up the hill. Pretty neat, but not all that practical or realistic.
