I am in process of designing an O gauge layout. I have experience in HO but am farily new to O. My question is about grade, I would like to operate my train on mulitple levels. Nothing to crazy as far as height goes.
If I took track from table top and wanted to gradually climb up to say a height of about 10 or 12 inches how long of a run would I need. I know there are factors such as number of cars pulled to consider. I have no desire to go above the height I mentioned. We have all seen HO layouts with trains making their way up and down various grades, making things appear more realistic. I just wanted to know if its possible with out.
I am just trying to get an idea how much layout space I would need to accomplice this, thanks for to all for your assistance.
