Woodland Scenics incline question
Posted by soumodeler on Monday, August 1, 2005 9:18 PM
I've got a WS 3% incline with a track that runs under it at about the 4" mark. How do I support the trak on the incline? Both tracks are curved making it harder and longer with a span of 1'. I am going to use a liscence plate to bridge the other part on level track, but it isn't long enough for this one. I don't want to /can't use plywood because of height problems and I can't go down anymore. Any ideas?

Get some masonite, or doorskin, or medite (1/8") and cut it to suit your needs. It should support your track and trains.

You could also use some thin stock metal, I have seen various pieces availble at places like Home Depot and Lowes not really costly either, thin enough to cut with tin snips but strong enough for support.
