Thank You for taking the time to respond! I appreciate and respect the opinions of the experienced! I am excited that my first issue of Garden Railways has arrived. Maybe you recall your first experiences with GRR and like myself couldn't get enough on the subject fast enough! This forum is a great resource evidenced by the hours I've spent sitting and waiting (very slow machine) to eagerly peruse the topics. Interesting that some folks that had asked my same questions back in 03' are now giving some great advice! Unfortunately for the hobby shops, I am observing there is no way for them to price compete with the net. On the other hand, being on a fixed budget dictates what is necessary. Not particularly having an interest in gardening, my motivation in this gauge is size and the space of the outdoors. If I were a gardener the first thing I would plant is a money tree! I would be happy if I can have the trackwork down before the ground freezes while also taking advantage of the cooler, beautiful fall season here in Western PA. I am seriously considering purchasing 3' sections of Aristo USA brass due to price, availability, and selection. I am partial to MRC power due to my positive experiences with their products in my O-gauge operations. I will look into the clamps that were suggested, not sure if any manufacturer is better than the other. Pricing seems to change radically from site to site, sometimes even more so with special incentitives. With two 35' side by side straight runs, I will french drain with PVC, gravel, then ballast with "Chicken Grit" if I can find the stuff. I thought about running 12-3 underground copper house wiring as a bus, running leads to the track at 10' intervals. Please advise if any of this logic seems "Voodoo"! <br /> <br />Thanks again my friends, <br />Rich
