Ok, I’m not good at math help me out. Have a 12" rise. How long does the trestle have to be to make a 1% 2% or 3 % grade.
Thank You . Bryan
A 1% grade rises 1 inch over 100 inches, 2% rises 2 inches over 100 inches, etc.
Sooooo, if you want to go up 12 inches, you’d need 1200 inches to go up a 1% grade, 600 to go up 2%, etc.
Of course it might be a good idea to build up part of the area approaching the trestle location so you aren’t building that thing for the next 5 years!

Now you know why I called it the “Helix from Hell”. It was like the Energizer Bunny, it just kept going and going and going.
Boy, I forgot how much fun you guys are!

Jon, for some reason I thought you were the Shay Guru.
Who was that back in the old days on LSOL ?
Bryan, that was um hold on… Dang… Um, Rick Henderson? Ya, I think that’s who it was.
I have a close-up shot of our Shay on the front page of our site. Maybe that’s why you thought I was him???

Who says its TOC? It don’t have a beard, besides he ain;t stogie chomping engineer out there, and he sure ain;t cornered the market on attitude! Incidentally I’m “shayguru” from the LSOL days!
Bart, that was you? Guess I’m getting old…

…I wonder if the party you are trying to remember is that fellow who would burn the house down to make smoke in a Deseasal…the infamous “White Kitty”.
…I wonder what old White Kitty is doing these days…heard he went to "O"scale…he sure faded fast; must have been all the smoke…!!!
That’s old Clay Fugitte ! Always testing smoke units and making smoke fluid. Then he came down with heart trouble, coincidence !
I remember Clay too.
