PRRMan, Jim's ideas are great. Follow through on those and plan, plan, plan. Then if you can, talk to a local MR group about what your planning. The MR benchwork system uses riser to elevate the track. So at each elevation point on your plan think of a piece of wood attached to the cross member sticking up that height. You'll need to put other pieces in between at progressively lower or higher height to get to the next elevation point. Use drywall screws to fasten the wood pieces together. You can buy these real cheap in bulk at any home center and they don't need pre-drilled pilot holes. Also, the allow for removal if you have to readjust the elevation. A good reversable drill or rechargable electric screw driver will be a good investment. The main thing is to keep the track bed at a smooth and proper incline....Walt
