Marlin explains what gradients are and how the Woodland Scenics Incline/Decline sets help you build gradients on your layout.
Incline/Decline Sets are the ideal way to alter the elevation of your track quickly and easily. Each set includes the high-density foam pieces necessary to raise or lower the elevation of your track. Incline/Decline Sets come in either 2%, 3% or 4% grades.
Sets can start an incline at 0" and reach a maximum height of 4 1/2" (11.4 cm). Declines can start at a maximum height of 4 1/2" (11.4 cm) and lower to 0". Actual measurements depend on the grade used.
NOTE: One Set only includes foam pieces necessary either to create an incline OR create a decline. One Set cannot do both. You will need two Sets to create both an incline and a decline on your layout.
To install Incline/Decline Sets, pin in place with Foam Nails and attach with Foam Tack™ Glue or the Low Temp Foam Glue Gun and Glue Sticks.

Got up to answer my phone before realising it's background noise from this tutorial 🤣

Haha!

Like the update today lot's of detail .Hope there more to come.

@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne 3 года назад

Thank you very much for the feedback. What else would you like to see?

@simon.revill Год назад

Gradients are good fun, especially when the loco is pulling a rake of wagons with real stone in! Lots of wheel slip and good control needed to navigate it.

@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne Год назад

Yes, definitely fun!

@davebnsfnscale4433 Год назад

You can reduce the grade by combining 3%up with 2% down stacked to yeild 1%

@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne Год назад

That is correct!

@andrewchapman2024 Год назад

I did not know that. Thank you for the valuable information.

@patrickmurphy6775 2 года назад

Very good! I would like to see the same thing for a 2% grade in Woodland Scenics.

@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne 2 года назад

Woodlands Scenics have many options actually for different gradients. Thank you for watching.

There is one disadvantage with this Woodland Scenics product. It is obviously aimed at users of American HO locos, many of which are fitted with traction tyres ! Unlike British outline products that generally like to avoid traction tyres. British steam outline in particular will therefore seriously struggle to haul more than a couple of coaches up even a 2% gradient. Indeed like real steam locos they don't like gradients of more than about 0.5%, and if the gradient has curves, the problem will be massively increased as curves effectively mean the gradient is much steeper. It's a Law of Physics !!! Happy Modelling 😝.

@larryjanson4011 Год назад

real railroad main lines do have up to 2% grades. but helpers are required. and NO U,S model trains do not use rubber tires. only toy trains use them. on my layout that i am building i am working to keep the grade below 2% sad the steepest will be about or just over 1.5%, and in a 36 in radius helix. but helpers may not be needed (short trains on this layout).

@mjtunstall1976 2 года назад

how long are they at 2%, 3%? i wold not reccomend 4% as too steep

@franzbrunner499 6 месяцев назад

for the H0 scale, what minimum radius do you recommend for a 2% incline? can you make the radius smaller with let's say 1.5% or only 1% incline? thank you

@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne 6 месяцев назад

The wider the curve, the better for any incline as they make the locos work so much harder.

@user-jo8hv4lp1z Год назад

Cajon Pass has a 3.1 gradient

@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne Год назад

Right, thank you for the info.

@MrLeonard55 8 месяцев назад

Is HO 1/8" or 1/4" per foot?

@Drrmichler 2 года назад

With a Marklin HO on C Track, will the train be able to work up a straight rise of 4% over 8 feet or a 3% rise over 12 feet? I assume going downhill is not an issue?

@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne 2 года назад

Anything over 2% is relatively steep, particularly around curves. There are many factors to consider such as the locomotive, and how curved the incline will be so some experimentation will be needed to be sure. Downhill will not be an issue.

@andrewchapman2024 Год назад

Are gradients The same in g/large scale as they are in ho/oo? If not, how would gradients work for g/large scale?

@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne Год назад

Hello. Gradients are the same in any scale.

@andrewchapman2024 Год назад

@@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne Oh, awesome. Thank you. If I were to put two or more of these foam risers together (side by side), could they be used for g scale as well?

@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne Год назад

Theoretically yes.
