- In this video, I test the inclines I plan to use in my N Scale coffee table layout!
Sorry it took so long to get a new video out! Don't worry, I'm still working on that coffee table layout! I'll also get to everyone's comments in the next few days! - Навчання та стиль
Looking forward to the video on the museum visit!
Hi I would like to add for everyone’s info. I don’t have scientific test videos on my channel. But whenever there are also curves with the grades it is a harder test for the loco to pass.
Great test.
Thank you!
Thanks for uploading again. Great watch as always.
My pleasure!
I also happen to own an N-scale j3a Hudson myself and I did not do a slope test before building my first train layout. I built my train layout with a max grade of 2 and even on the 2, the train struggled with four pullman cars which could also be due to the fact that the 2 percent is on a curve. It is quite unfortunate because it is such a good-looking model.
I subscribed based on the first 2 seconds lol… like the New York Central passengers…
Thanks for the sub!
Good info on the grades.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, have subscribed and look forward to catching up on your others. 2% grade is a lot for n scale steam and the hudson did well to cope. Add a curve to it and it will struggle even more.
Great video. I can tell you're a funny guy. Subbed.
Thanks for subscribing! Welcome aboard!
Your videos are excellent. You deftly combine information and entertainment. Great job!!
Glad you like them! Thank you!
this was entertaining :) great vid!
Glad you enjoyed!
I’m an N scale model railroader myself. In the future I will be setting up my permanent layout which will be expanded from the standard 4 ft. X 8 ft. To 4 ft. X 12 ft, from there it will have a second level. I will be using an incline from the lower level to the upper level. For each inch I add 1/8 zin. Which is a 1.25% grade so my locomotives will have an easier time to pull longer freights & Amtrak as well as my Southern Pacific Morning Daylight Excursion pulled by the GS-4 4-8-4 number 4449. An incline of 1.25% is easier than other grades, which eventually my layout will be 2 levels on a 6 ft. X 12 layout. My railroad is the Pacific West Coast. All of my locomotives are Kato & so is my Amtrak train the Coast Starlight & the Southern Pacific Morning Daylight Excursion train & 74 freight cars, 2 cabooses & 2 freight locomotives which the number will increase as well.
Open the sanding valve 😊
So, my layout is already built with as many inclines as it'll have and the last sections to build are all flat - but i was still curious to see how the 3% grade worked because i almost ended up with a 3% on an 'S' curve. glad i figured out how to make 2% work! That's a beautiful consist, so i hope you get the 2% into the table! Or maybe that's a good excuse to buy another loco...????
I'm dealing with the 3% grade for this layout but any future ones will definitely be 2% or less!
And Tim the toolman Taylor in his words of wisdom he said more power. .. .. look like you were running it in speed notch 3 maybe even 2..... Put a dpu on the last car problem solved
