Mike, The work is looking very good. Keep having fun.
I have a slight hump in the transition off my ramp. My VL GG1 #4935 can handle it, so I'm OK with it. The Vision Line GG1 is like a giant sled with little flexibility. It has to be the least forgiving of all of Lionel's engines for climbing grades.
Sincerely, John Rowlen

Man, ain't it the truth! I constructed my layout using MTH GG1's and 21" cars as test vehicles for clearances, super elevation an curved track work. Along came the VL 4800 and showed up every little flaw in my workmanship...and some big ones too! Articulated train sets,such as Zephyrs and Turbos are also bad actors in this regard.
