Back in the late 60's, my dad and I had a pretty large basement layout. He was the brains of the operation and I was the learning kid. Well, life got in the way and eventually the layout was torn apart but all the rolling stock and locomotives were retained. This fairly large inventory is now in my possession as my Dad passed away a few years ago. The problem is that I don't have his knowledge as a resource anymore.
I have designed several HO layouts and have finally settled on a layout but my space is more limited than before. I have created a dog bone corner layout but had to use 3.5% inclines. I plan on running short trains with steam locomotives. Is this doable or am I asking for trouble?
