Great video ! Love the steep grades, do you ever plan on installing the Everett and Monte Cristo railroad from Everett to Monte Cristo.

[@muchfunwithtrains]

I've thought about it, but basically this narrow gauge line, although fictitious, does about the same thing, charging off east into the Cascade mountains as it does...

Our we missing the “Pen” at the stock pen area? What is grade to get to the new additional space.

[@muchfunwithtrains]

Yes, there are no fences to keep the stock in. One of these days we'll get that done. The ruling grade is 3% on the long trestle, but most of the grades are more like 2 or 2.5%. Years ago I had just a single loop of track which was reached from the yard by a 5% grade, but I found that I couldn't pull anything more than one or two cars up it, so I put in the full turns around to get the grade down to something more reasonable. Even 3% is pretty challenging for those little 2-8-0's.
