I am kind of new to model railroading, and am doing some research to design and build a layout. I am planning on using N scale and would like to know what the 1:160 means or what unit of measurement it uses. and also when the talk about elevation grading (1% or 2% ) how is that calculated? any help or reference material I could by would be deeply appreciated.
