Happy New Year, all. I am in the process of building a new HO layout. The bench work will be a combo of open grid and girder. I was wondering how you determine where the risers go and what increments you increase the riser height(s) for a 2% grade... I plan on using the "cookie-cutter" roadbed method for the raised portion. I have Linn Wescott's book, but I can't find any reference re: grades as far as the riser height changes for a given distance and grade percentage, etc... Thanks! - Matt
