Elevation Set 4% – HO

The Elevation Set  can be used to rise the track on your layout from 2 mm in height to approximately 98 mm in height.  This is the minimum height required for another track to pass underneath in HO scale.  Obviously the height of the incline can be adjusted to specific needs.  The incline is at 4%, the maximum acceptable incline for HO scale trains.

The set contain 4 pieces, each piece is 600 mm in length, giving you a total length of 2,4 m when installed in sequence.  Each piece is 70 mm wide.  The sets are made by using the living hinge technique, enabling it to bent around corners or to be installed in a straight line.  It is advisable to start and end any incline on a straight piece of track.

The elevation sets are made of low density polystyrene and care should be taken to use the correct adhesives when installing the sets.  We recommend Polystyrene Foam Adhesive from Genkem. available from any DIY store in South Africa.
