I put Woodland Scenics risers under the loop on one side of my layout. The loop is O84 and O72 Fastrack. I raised the upper level on six inch blocks of styrofoam around to the other end of the layout and stuck a few pieces of foam under that loop. I test ran one diesel around the whole setup. I have a spot that I need to extend the benchwork so there is support under the track, and three corners that I need to fill in. I installed another O72 cross over, bringing the total to three, and installed a turnout for the yard lead. Yesterday evening I unpacked the Big Boy and tested the fit on the outsid loop. I needed to make a little clearence adjustments, but everything checked out OK. Now I need to finish the benchwork so I can start on the other side.
