RE: (erielack) Western PA



This subdivision is refered to as "saw toothed" in several places that I have read. Now I was looking at the track charts for the subdivision on the CD I purchased from the society. But I didn't see much worse then a 1% grade and it seems relatively short grades as well. Granted I am no expert at reading the track maintence charts so maybe I am not properly understanding it. But I am wonder how I may give some resemblence to this topography. At this moment I'm thinking of doing an around the basement spiraling up multi deck layout similart to Tony Koestner's NKP with penisulas to give it a longer run up the grade to the next level. But his has a steady 1% or less grade most of the way up and this would not properly represent. So I thought I would seek the wisdom of the forum members here for advice.
