Hi there .My entire layout is at ground level with 2 large loops and 2 passing areas.It's at the top end of my garden encircling a grassed seating area.It's been down for over a year now and has performed perfectly.One stipulation my wife had about garden railwaying was that it must be able to be walked on,mowed over and survive the 4 children playing football over it. <br />I first got hold of some treated 6" by 2" timber.Worked out where the track was going to go and started digging.I found that if I was carefull with the trench digging the wood slotted in perfectly with no movement.If it rattled in the hole I packed it out with sand. <br />I left the wood at ground so that when the track was ballast it covers the wood. <br />Once the track is nailed to the wood and left to settle for a while it will withstand anything.Mine certainly does.I've had no trouble with drainage,frost or snow.Only thing is that you have to make sure you know where the trains are when you're trimmimg the grass edges.Troy
