2% Incline Starter Instructions

Install Risers Add Inclines Install & Cut Profile Boards Cut & Install Sheet Goods Add Plaster Cloth & Track-Bed
Install Risers wherever track
will be laid. This raises the track
level to the height of the Risers,
causing surrounding areas to
be lower. Modelers can quickly
and easily make creeks and
other low-lying areas without
cutting into the layout base.
Flexible Inclines allow track
to easily change elevations
on curves or straights. The
SubTerrain System’s pre-cut
Inclines (with 2%, 3% or 4%
grade) remove the guesswork
and complicated calculations.
Interlocking Profile Boards
are joined with matching
Connectors to make a sturdy
layout perimeter that can easily
be cut with the Hot Wire Foam
Cutter (our unique cutter) to
conform to any profile desired.
Cut Foam Sheets with the Hot
Wire Foam Cutter and use to
enclose tunnels, create interior
terrain profiles and form level,
elevated areas for buildings
and towns.
Form terrain with newspaper
wads. Cover them with Plaster
Cloth that has been dipped in
water. Install the Track-Bed
(HO,
O or N scale). Create
realistic
streets, roads and
parking lots using the Road
System. Then finish the layout
with Woodland Scenics Terrain
and Landscape products.
Five Easy Steps to a simplified and improved layout system for beginners and advanced modelers
Install Inclines
Instructions for Installing Inclines:
After Risers are pinned in place, Inclines (Sets or Starters) are
mounted to the top of Risers. Inclines can also be mounted directly
to the layout base.
1. Temporarily pin each Incline section in place with
Foam Nails.
NOTE:
If you are working with
pre-established elevations, it may be easier to start at
your highest elevation and work down.
2. Permanently install Risers and Inclines by applying
a bead of Low Temp Foam Glue along edges that
touch each other and the layout base. Thin Incline
sections, such as the leading edge of Starter, should
be surface glued using Foam Tack Glue.
NOTE:
It’s a
good idea to temporarily lay track and test your train
before permanently attaching Risers and Inclines.
If necessary, make changes to you Risers and Inclines
and retest train.
3. After glue has dried, remove Foam Nails.
4. Fill and smooth rough spots with Foam Putty. When
dry, sand with 220-grit sandpaper.
Use Starters for:
• Humpyards
• Road Crossings
• Bumpers
