A sequel to the gradient test (https://youtu.be/C7kByq1mzl4), but this time on a helix.
Loads of people pointed out that curves make gradients harder to climb, so I repeated the test for the same 23 models, but this time I'm using 4th radius curves on a fixed 2% slope. I want to know how many coaches they can get to the top of them helix and if they stop on the helix and start again.
We can then compare the results from this helix test with the results from the straight test and see how much of a difference the curves make.
