Alright, I've reworked the layout and moved my turnout several feet away. Here are the new numbers...7" of rise over approx 20' = 2.92% grade. <br /> <br />However, in order to accompli***his I've had to introduce three 90 degree curves. What should I look out for as I build the benchwork? Should I "bank" the roadbed slightly around the curves? I'm considering using 1/2" MDF, which seems pretty flat and stable. Are there better alternatives, ie A/C plywood, etc? <br /> <br />Any further guidance would be great!
