Kimbrit; As you have heard fron others, above the ground about waist height is pretty good and most convenient. I have osteo arthritus in both knees and it is hard for me to kneel down, so it is doubly important for me. I have seen several layouts and they are definitle easier and better to observe elevated as well. However for reasons of cost, local conditions and general lazyness I have opted to have my layout at ground level and I don't regret it. There is definitely less work to do at the beginning, if you do not elevated your layout unless local conditions such as sloping terrain etc make it more simple. It is important when us oldies and even youngies first get into garden railways to get something going around ASAP to spur you on to keep going "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". So if you opt to elevated you Garden Railway, consider the work involved and the effect on your physically; cause after all none of us are as young as we used to be, take this from another retiree on the other side of the world. Regards Ian; Kawana island Tropical Railway.
