[:p] Got my main line done with a 2.5% grade. It’s about 50’ long. Started out running things small to check out reliability.
Everything worked fine. Built up to 2 cheap Bach locos,(a B-23 and an F-9,$25 each cheaper locos) and 30 cars. Half had P2K metal wheels and half had cheap stock plastic wheels.
I let it run for two hours, No derailments, no problems…
I then tested low speed performance.
2 minutes, 45 seconds to go 50’[:D][:D][:D] CAN YOU SAY HAPPY CAMPER!!!
Can’t wait to break out the big locos!!!
This is the first “big” grade I’ve ever attempted. I guess it paid off to take my time and do it right.
Thanks to all that gave advise! And remember, Sunday is Mothers Day!
Great job! Always nice when you can stop and run trains. Pics are always welcome.

Glad tohere it! Any pics?
No pics worth posting yet. Found out I’m not getting layed off for the summer so I smell a Konica/Minolta Z6 with super macro function in my very near future![;)]
Life is good!
Yeah. Good for you!
Way to go, Pilgrim!
