Thanks everyone for your input. I just bought my HCD today and also bought a couple of 1"x2'x8' sheets of the blue extruded polystyrene. This foam...
Thanks for the info and photos, Trey. I may end up using both as well. I won't be using the WS inclines though, just the 2" risers glued to the...
I'm getting ready to install the sub roadbed for my HCD n scale layout. Trying to decide between 2" risers from Woodland Scenics or a slab of 2"...

OK, I get it now, Donald. That's a great idea. I'll go back into AnyRail and experiment with your suggestion. Thanks, Kim
