Hi Stewart, My advice would be to keep it at no more than 3%.My own railroad is HO and a logging layout, but as I onle use 6 log cars at a time, I can get away with 5 & 8% grades using shay loco's. I was into N-scale a number of years ago and used 3% to climb up and over some tracks, one loco and 30 freight plus caboose, no problems.. Have fun friend. shamus
