I'm new to ho train layout. I would like to make an incline. How do I determine how long to make incline in relation to the height?
It's best to stay at 2% or less if possible.

If you are not acquainted with percent grade, 2% is, for example: 2" of height for 100" of run.
Have fun,

Check Woodland Scenics. They have a foam riser set for inclines. As the others have said, don't try to make a steep incline unless you are planning on logging.
