• What is the the tightest turn the risers provide?

  The tightest turn Risers provide is 9”.

• What is the difference between O and On30 scale? What scale track, risers and TrackBed are compatible?

  The "n" stands for narrow. On30 describes the modeling of narrow gauge railways, using O scale trains with narrow tracks that run on HO gauge track. For your On30, you can use SubTerrain Risers and Track-Bed.

• Why is SubTerrain foam made with expanded foam?

  We wanted a foam product that was lightweight and easy to use. You can cut SubTerrain quickly and neatly, it will not crumble or fall apart, and working with SubTerrain high-density foam rquires no previous modeling experience. When cut with a Hot Wire Foam Cutter, it does not emit toxic fumes.

• Would it be possible to order six or eight 3.5 inch foam risers?

  We do not make 3.5 inch risers. To accomplish this, install our 2 ", 1 " and 1/2 " risers on top of one another to create that height. Each package contains 4 each and each piece is 2.5 " wide x 24 " long. The quantities to purchase will depend on the planned length of your track.
  
  

• How do you mount a tortoise switch machine under the track if you are using SubTerrain?

  Cut a notch in the Risers and install a hard board to support the mechanism. Cut a hole in the base for installing and servicing the switch machine. Complete the installation according to the manufacturer's instructions.

• How can I use your Risers to accomodate my S Gauge layout?

  To accomodate S gauge, double the Risers width by placing them side-by-side.

• Is it true that SubTerrain foam products will not crumble or fall apart?

  Yes. SubTerrain foam products are made from unique, high-density foam and will not crumble or fall apart.

• Would the 3% grade riser work if I want to keep the engines from working too hard to get up the hill? Or is it best to go with 2%?

  A standard powered locomotive will not have an issue making it up the grades we offer (2%, 3% and 4%). The issue with a train having trouble making it up a grade depends upon how many units of rolling stock it is pulling. The more powerful the engine, the more rolling stock it will be able to pull. As there are so many variations in locomotives and rolling stock, this is an at-home trial and error test.

• I have your Risers and Inclines. Would Foam Tack Glue or the Low Temp Glue Gun be best for adhering these?

  Both adhesives work equally well. Foam Tack Glue is high tack white glue and works well as a contact cement. Low Temp Foam Glue bonds instantly and works well for a quicker installation.

• Can your grading kits be used with the Lionel Fastrack? If so how do you secure the track to the foam?

  Yes. Risers and Inclines/Declines can be used with O gauge Lionel FasTrack. They will need to be placed side-by-side so they are wide enough to support the track. 

  We recommend covering Risers and Inclines/Declines with Plaster Cloth prior to laying track. Attach the FasTrack to Plaster Cloth with Foam Tack Glue.

• I am building an O gauge layout and want to use your risers and inclines/declines. Will they work for O gauge?

  Yes, they will work for O gauge just fine. However, you will need to place them side-by-side to accommodate the width.

• How high do the incline risers need to be to allow clearance for overpass tracks for "HO" and "N" gauge trains? And I assume "TT" gauge would be half way in between?

  The NMRA has established clearance specifications. We recommend you reference their website for clearance requirements.
