By add elevation do you mean put in hills an such or do you mean have the train climb up a grade? I learned long ago that N does not climb well. On my layout I try to keep things almost level and give the illusion that the train is climbing. <br />The easiest way to raise the grade is to use open frame bench work with risers. You don't have to be much of a carpenter. If you want to work in foam check out N Scale Magazine May/June 1999 for a complete faom layout. In constructing a layout using this type of construction I used foamcore under he top of the layout to raise parts of the foam. I cut the foam like some people cut plywood so that part will rise up. Good luck both foam and N have a lot to offer.
