Based from my experience in the past with the old 4.5 volt battery train and
gray tracks there was a slight speed up but, nothing that would have to be
monitored. If the incline slope isn't so steep, all should be well. The other
thing we could do is actually make a small bank in the turn to avoid any
rolethrough that might happen.
The other thing is how long would the trains be. doing a full loop of trains
really doesn't fix but if things are broken down like in really life (within
the scale) no problems should come up. Especially since you not going to run
miles of track around the layout.
