With easements applied > also to the curvature, the whole effect is quite pleasing. The one potential drawback of using stripwood is that the moisture it soaks up from ballasting might warp it. Another option is to use styrene strip in place of stripwood. Jeff Mutter told me of a novel approach he uses - strips of masking tape! To make the track higher, just keep layering on more masking tape. Of course, as Paul B. pointed out, if you have risers supporting your roadbed/subroadbed, it's a pretty simple task to mount those at an angle. This is where a digital scale that shows angle or slope is VERY useful... - Paul The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List http://EL-List.railfan.net/ To Unsubscribe: http://Lists.Railfan.net/erielackunsub.html ------------------------------
