Dang, 4% is a whole different animal. I will have to rethink my layout. Maybe add a spiral switchback or set my truss bridge down in a valley lower than ground level. Hmmm. thanks man.

HO / Inclines
December 28, 2013, 11:13:05 AM
Hi all. I built me a truss bridge that is 11 inches high. To get down to ground level from there I have read that I need a 4 degree incline. From 11 inches at 4 degrees, it's roughly 9 1/2 feet. That will put me around one full turn. Will my trains climb that on a turn or do I need to adjust it any. I haven't built the incline yet and would like to know of any alterations I need to make before I do. I run dc and dcc trains on this rail. Any input would be helpful. Thanks.

thanks Rich. I'll order one. The track is the same, can I still use some of it for my dcc, or should I mark it to keep it separated?

Just picked up an earnhardt express set of locos and track only. Does anyone know if it is dc or dcc or something else? It has the ez track, gray roadbed just like my dcc commander, but no power pack or speed controller. Thanks.

I don't know what to do. I need help. I can turn on the lights. I can change the number on the command center control. It even moves back a little like it does on the DVD, but it will not go forward or backward whatsoever. what am I doing wrong?
