I'm relatively new in garden railroading but have good luck with 1/4 minus gravel between 1"to 2" deep as a base and "turkey grit" as a finish. I live in a very sandy area so not a worry about drainage. Also the temp rainges from 110 deg's at times in the summer to 30 deg's. below 0 in the winter. So far I have not had much of a problem with track movement, As for laying track, I use solid rail brass. I don't worry much about cleaning it as I have all my locos converted to battery and remote radio control. We have to irrigate every day in the summer months because of the sandy soil with sprinklers w/river water and the track gets fairly dirty..
