The two major grades on my layout are at about 2.8%, one just over 16' in length, the other, with multiple curves, including two horseshoe-type curves, 45' long.
There's one steeper grade, but it's used only when a visitor (or my grandkids), want to see continuous running. It's roughly 7' long, at 4.8%. Otherwise, the layout is operated as point-to-point, with five staging yard destinations/points of origin.
