Has anyone used this system from woodland scenic before SubTerrain Lightweight Layout System . I was reading about it and saw the video and it looked cool specially the risers. i am planning to make my first temporary layout and this seemed to be a quicker and easer way. any thoughts, experiences..

I plan to use it on my layout. I'm using Lionel Fastrack and since the risers are made for HO I plan to place two sets side by side on the incline section. The rest of the elevated sections will be on pink foam. I purchased a set of 2% incline and discovered I didn't have the length of track needed to elevate the track six inches where it crosses over itself. Each section is 24" long. I just ordered a couple 4% incline sets that will give me the rise I need in the length of track.

Please share your experience as how it worked. i didnt realize that it was for HO. Thanks for pointing that out
I expect to pick up my order on Saturday. The width of each riser is two inches. I think I will have about a half inch of riser on each side of the track. Once I get it installed and tested for fit I plan to cover it with plaster cloth and slope the sides. I'll post pictures when I get started.
Here's a update. I picked up my order from Modeltrainstuff on Friday the 23rd of November.(MBKlines) I have 90% of my benchwork completed. I have been working on the double track mainlines fitting a couple crossovers and testing the fit. I did hook up power to the track and test ran a locomotive and a caboose all the way around to where the track crosses over and it worked well. I haven't had a chance to work with the risers yet. Maybe I can try later this week. I have marked the track locations and plan to drill holes for the power drops. Install the risers and retest the fit. I'll post pictures later.

Make that the 1st of December I picked up the order. I was looking at the wrong month.
