Doc, I like that! What size curves do you have? Do you think you could post what elevations the tracks are, what percent the grades are, stuff like that? That is, if you don't my copying
Doc Holliday said:I'm using 18" and 22" radii. I'm running early steam so I can get away with them that small. Inclines vary from 1% to a max of 4%. Here's an early pic showing the ups and down.
I laid it out on graph paper and may still have the sketch with elevations. PM me you address and if I can find it I'll snail mail it to you. It's way too messy to try to scan. I also had a buddy rough it out in XTRAK-CAD if you 'd like that. I'm more into modeling than running trains so I realize that it has some operational limitations.

Doc, I plan on using 22" and 18" myself, so that's cool. I just want to be able to run an SD40-2 on the 22's and my GP40-2 on the 18's.Doc Holliday said:I'm using 18" and 22" radii.
