RE: How do i do gradient/level track?

This can be achieved by the use of the .height and .pitch commands.

If you put .pitch x and .height y at the point where the gradient starts. Where x is whatever gradient you want (I forget how to work this out, sorry), and y is teh original height of the track, usually 0.5m ish. Then at theend of the gradient place another set of these commands, where x=0 and y is however high track 0 should be after the gradient. This way your track elevates.

The grounds you use should fall away from your track and so by working out how far below your track the other rails are, you can get the desired effects.

Track.Rail Index; X; Y; IdxStType

You can use the third parameter Y (the height related to rail(0).

By ex.:
...
1225, .pitch 100
1225, .Rail 1; 4; 0; 6
1250, .Rail 1; 4; 2,5; 6
1275, .Rail 1; 4; 5; 6
1300, .Rail 1; 4; 7,5; 6
1325, .Rail 1; 4; 10; 6
...
