I'm in the process of building a city (currently 5.5x10 layout in HO scale) and I would like to do a completely elevated train. I'm not looking for a train on a hill, but more of like the trains in Chicago. I'm not sure what the best way to accompli***his would be. I would LIKE to have it all steel girder work (like this but without the arch). [img]http://www.hobbylinc.com/gr/atl/atl886.jpg[/img] However, that could get quite expensive. Would it be better to just use foam like the Woodland Scenics risers, and use a bridge whenever it needs to go over something? Also, on average, with one train going over another train, how high should the elevated track be? I'll be running a freight train on the lower level and an Acela on the elevated track. Again, this is for HO. Let me know your opinions. Thanks, Kevin (aka chewie8han)
