Does anyone know if someone makes risers like Woodland Scenics risers but for O Scale? I've looked at the WS ones and they look like they're made for HO and only rise 4" and I want it to be able to clear O Scale locomotives and cars.
Thanks in advance.

I believe a 1 percent grade in HO has the same slope as a 1 percent grade in O (divide the rise by the run). Buy the Woodland Scenic risers and put two side-by-side to get the width needed for O track. That is what we did on my father-in-laws toy train layout with WS's 4 percent risers. (Actually the risers were 2 percent where we put one on top of another one to make 4 percent).
I use these and they work just fine for o scale. The are wide enough for my atlas track. I highly recommend end them. If you want to go higher, you stack a set of the equal height ones with an incline one on top.
Old school. It is difficult, on many layouts, to achieve grades less than 2%. This approaches 4%. Working with 12 ft of run, and about 7" of rise. The grade continues through the curves.
Deck bridge grade continues through most of this O54 1/2 curve. There is only a few feet of the outside loop that are not involved in a grade, up or down.
Best wishes with your project.
