<P>I agree with cccpro. In fact, I have three boxes of 4% grade WS inclines left over. Since my grades were short and I changed my height by an inch last minute, I was able to get 6 separate grades built from 2 boxes of 3% WS inclines. I never even needed the 4% grades.</P> <P>I am also using foam insulation on my layout but since my grades were only 2.5 feet long and the radius is 21 5/8", I was hard pressed to bend the foam insulation in order to use it for grading. But I suppose on a straightaway or broad turn, it would work just fine. However, as I've mentioned in another thread, if I'm going to build this layout in my lifetime I have to cut corners somewhere. WS inclines were a great way to accomplish what I wanted quickly and easily.</P> <P>Here's a photo of one of my grades:</P> <P>[img]http://mysite.verizon.net/surfstud31/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/track_lay3.jpg[/img]</P>
