What do experienced layout builders use to build inclines for o scale. I was looking around the Woodland Scenics site but didn't see anything for O scale risers or inclines. Track system I'm using is Fastrack.

Doug,
I am using 1"x4" pine board as risers. The subroadbed is "cookie-cutter" in design (i.e. cut from a sheet of plywood). Make sure your subroadbed is at least 1/2" thick and adequately braced so that you don't get low spots or sagging. Poor roadbed construction really destroys track / engine operations. And it's something you live with for a long time. Don't ask me how I know.

Hi Doug,
I have used the incline sets from Woodland Scenic on my layout with good success. Typically I use these on curved inclines as it is really simple. My straight inclines are more of a cookie cutter approcach.
Here is a photo, I used atlas track and cork roadbed.
you can see it in several location on the layout, here is the link to that thread.

While the pieces are not scale specific, it worked just fine for me.
