Where are you located? I live in Texas and have heavy clay soil. I've not heard of 'clay heave'. My soil gets very soggy in the winter during the rainy season and hard as rock after baking in the summer sun. <br /> <br />Something else you need to consider is expansion/contraction. You need to design your railroad to allow for it. Chances are, by doing so, you may also solve your 'clay heave' problem. IMOHO, the best way to allow for expansion/contraction is to have lots of curves and avoid long straight runs. <br /> <br />Jon
