Joined: 19/12/2018(UTC) Posts: 11 Location: Massachusetts, Worcester		The Märklin 8978 Approach Pillars range from 4mm through 40mm in height. If I string a set of 8500 11cm straights and/or 8510 14½cm 45° curves, I get slopes of 3½% and more. Even with 8505 22cm straights and 8530 22cm 45° curves, the slopes are 1¾% and 2⅓%. In view of a number of postings advising no more than 1% slopes, isn't this a bit steep? What is advised?
