That's incredible. I really do wish I was there to see that! Phil Phil, My entry was correct - 46%. It totally threw me too. The only adhesion improver allowed was chalking the rails. I had devised a track that could be elevated to 22.5% grade and we had to stack boxes etc under one end and calculate the grade manually. The high end was barely reachable from standing on a chair in a 12 foot length of track. We immediately moved every thing off the tables to the floor
