I have a layout design I will be starting to build soon, it utilizes a maximum grade of 3%. I am hoping this isn't too steep and cause motor burnout on my Lionel Post War, LC+, and future Legacy engines. The layout is a 'U' shape, with 036 radius and turnouts, and fills a 9.5'x12' area. One area has a 3% grade up which crosses over a 3% grade down.
Your thoughts? and advice.
Thank you in advace for your response. - Tony
