My Network Rail Farish 31 is the weakest loco I have. I use it to see if the inclines I have are suitable for my trains. I keep on tweaking until that one makes it. If that one makes it, they all do. I am not a fan of round helix because of the friction the wheels create when going up. Add to that a high grade like you have and it is a disaster. I prefer an oval helix, which gives time for the train to straighten out before it hits the next turn in the helix. You have a lot of room under there for an oval helix. Just an idea. I know this video is a couple of years old, but it may be something you can think about for a future plan :) Great job :)
looks a great system . just ordered some for my n gauge layout. i did find a graident calculator online for n gauge might do one for oo. but must say the best thing i have bought ever was woodland scenics risers and incline sets....superb... looks fab ..
Hello, I am seeing here a single Car Garage with a complete Loop Running Layout. As for the INCLINE you need to have it atleast 4inches under the Top level and try using the Complete underneath for a longer running and a more gentle slope up, where the TRAINS go down under on one SIDE of the SHED and run around the SHORT END and have the FINAL SECTION of the STORAGE underneath on the OTHER LONG SIDE of the SHED
I presume you know that comments are turned off for quite a few (if not all) of your later videos; why is this? I really like the canal scene (that you will come to do - LOL).
Sorry, didn't quite understand why you grabbed the locos and just did not stop them with the controller (got them on braking or just a really slow come to a halt?).

Bring back the canal scene!!!

Tidy work with your electrics
Thanks Dave, I have ocd. 😉
magnetic force decreases with the square of the distance. it would have same kind of sense if the distance base-magnet would be
