Hi Everyone
I'm looking at having an 8 foot diameter curve where the train will come into the curve, rise up elevation high enough to cross over itself. I can turn this circle into a rectangle to extend the % of elevation rise, but does it matter whether you're climbing 3% around a curve or on a straight? The area I plan to have my layout is 38 foot in length. I have two Aristo Craft FA1s that will be pulling 4-6 of the new Aristo Craft Streamline cars.
