Hello all
I'm new to the train world, boy what an exciting hobby. I have a question, I live on 5 acres and I'm planning on my first layout. Most of the property has some slope to it. I've seen some of your web sites showing layouts on hills, they look amazing. Now my question is how you switch back the layout when you run out of room while going in one direction??? You obviously need to gain or loose elevation but how do you recommend doing this and keep within 2-3% slope on the track???
I do have a small excavator and bobcat so creating tunnels back in the slope is possible. Any help would be much appreciated as I can't visualize the layout at this point.
Thanks again
Jamie
