I have a DCC HO layout BNSF and finally got running two trains. I have a couple of spots I need to tweak. I have heard mentioned that on average 2% is the grade. I know I have mine climbing and going around a curve at the same time.

I use Hornby 4 and 6 wheelers on Trix 1st radius C-tracks, which have smaller radius (360mm), than Hornby/Peco ones.

I think, most of the boogie diesel and electric locomotives will work on 1st radius. There is a British YouTube channel with shunting and small layouts. They tried several Hornby locos on their small exhibition layout which only contains 1st radius curves.
