Hey Bluebonnet and Vic, <br /> I said I'd be using a pick and shovel, but I have a small cultivator that I bought from Sears to turn over my vegatable garden, I'll be using that to dig my trenches. The initial layout is going to be put down without road bed for a month or so. We are going to put the track down and do the plantings in containers. We want to see how everything looks together before I put the gravel in and build any bridges. Phase I is going to be a simple loop that snakes through a stand of pines in the right corner of our yard, about a hundred feet of track. I was born near Pittsburgh Pa, (Steeler fan in Patriot country, pray for me.) I took my wife to Horseshoe curve and she loved it. The sound of those big motors pulling up the hill, the ground shaking, plus the squeal of the flanges on the corner is quite a thrill. We decided to try to recreate some part of the curve in our Garden Railroad. Phase II will be adding a second loop to run parallel with the first through the curve. Phase III will be an extension into the other corner of the yard and running into the side yard. Phase III is slated to begin the summer after next. Question: If I am doing a double track "S" curve, should I do the curves the same on each sid eof the curve? In other words, if one part of the S uses 10' and 12' curves, should the next part be 12' and 10', or could I go 10' and 8'? Did that question make any sence? I know what I want to ask, but may be having trouble writting it out. <br />Later, Jim
