DoubleDAZ posted:Kevin, I think what Elliot is saying is that if you want to be able to reach cars on the hidden yard to deal with problems (derailments, etc.), you will need more than the minimum clearance in order to get your hands in there to do so. And if you lower the yard 12" below the main level, based on what we see for the distance of your grade track, the grade is going to be around 8%, much too steep. That's why I asked you to post the RR-Track file, so I could see the clearances, etc.
Thanks for bailing me out Dave, that's exactly what I meant. Sometimes I speak a strange dialect of English, known as model railroadeese, and forget that not everyone speaks it.
