This is a secondary video in my multi-part series discussing my construction of the N-Scale Scenic Ridge layout (kit from Woodland Scenics). The series is aimed at a beginner model railroader, but there are a lot of hints for those with more experience. In this session, I will discuss how I fixed a problem with my track--transitions from flat to a 4% grade were too abrupt leading to problems in running the trains. I also have a small refresher part on finishing ground cover and scenery.
