<P>Does anyone use these systems (Risers and Inclines)? </P> <P>How wide are they? The info provided online doesn't indicate width and these might be the ticket for my slot car track too.</P> <P>I am putting a slot car track wth my train track, and prototypically there should be a depression in the median between them for drainage reasons.</P> <P>I have 1 x 3/1 x 2 'L' girders drying now, and I am in the planning stage of making this all happen.</P> <P>I could do the Wincott girder/joist benchwork or a cookie cutter style system. My issue with the first style is going below grade to make these drainage ditches when I am perpendicular to my joists. If these risers are close to the same width as HO slot car track, then that solves the problem and I just go girder/joist and cookie cut my ply for grades above 4".</P> <P>Any thoughts out there?</P> <P>Mike/Nightshade</P>
