I'm a little tardy for joining in, sorry. My G gauge mainline is braced off a privacy fence 40" above ground level. This is as about as unorthidox as I've ever gone. The only "gardening" possible is using planters between the fence and the right-of-way. Painted panels effect background scenery. The 20' diameter reverse loop just "hangs" there suspended in space. I will effect under surface "arched" support between 4" X 4" posts as per a viaduct illusion under the "loop." Lots of post hole digging and braces off the fence which, so far, have supported my "light rail" rolling stock securely. <br /> <br />This approach is truly far more railroad oriented than organic. But, it modifies the ugliness of my privacy fence and makes for much easier access and "eyeballing" the trains is also improved. Hope everyone is into a lot of action this Spring. Looking forward to even more great Topics very soon. Happy rails.
