The incline rises 50mm over 1500mm. I'm tempted to build a 4% version just to see what happens, but then again it works so why fiddle with it! Mind you, all I'd need to do is put a 10mm spacer under the high end. Hmm. Hold that thought.

Testing the incline
Having positioned the inclines and begun to lay the track them, I thought it would be a good idea to test a locomotive on it. Given that the typical kits have a 4% incline and I've gone for 3% it shouldn't pose a problem, but I wanted to test it to be sure.
As you can see, the small loco with a light load easily made it up the slope. Now all I need to do is complete the track laying and then I can move onto wiring and control.
