Hey everyone! Happy Sunday!
I thought it would be a good day for an update! I've been working on thinking through what the grade would be and how to build it. After thinking of a million different ways, I realized, go the P-A-Y route instead of the DIY route and order the Woodland Scenics riser kit. Voila! I ordered the 4% grade risers, and then 4in platform risers. I haven't glued anything down yet as I'm still mulling over my next question and acquiring track.
I'm debating on putting. 1in layer of foam down on top of the homasote for scenery purposes. I know as far as cons, its harder to get the track to screw in and tie in. I think the foam could be good for cutting out inlays where the buildings will go and give me some flexibility in cutting in a river/stream that will run from the back of the layout down towards the front. What is everyone's thought on that? I keep going back and forth and would love some insights.
I've also tested out the majority of the engines I have at my house so far, and they can all transverse it. Here are some pictures and a quick video!
