I was wondering how to lay track on a slope. I was wondering if I should build up the area with dirt or just make a mountain. Maybe even a tresel. The slope is about a 70% grade, any help would be greatly appreciated.
2% slopes are the general recommendation unless you plan on going with a cog train. 70% offers some interesting tunnel abd helix opportunities. Show us some pics of what you have to work with.
Interesting like this.
Ray,
You have a ton of tunnels and tressels but what grade do your lines run?

Hi railroades 21 Do remember the arm rule for tunnels that you need to be able to reach train from both ends should you get a problem and need to pull or push it out. plus annimals like to hide in tunnels
