Anybody have some experience in this area?
My current plan has some passing lanes where I might want to drop or park some passenger cars. Does this area need to be dead level so the cars won't roll to the main line? I was thinking about 1/2% to 1%. I think I can do what I want without it but it is easier with a slight grade in this area.
Has anyone done their entire layout on a slight grade? I want a stream flowing out of a pond and it would seem to be easier if the entire layout had a 1/2 to 1% grade side to side.
