Hi folks, <br /> <br />I have been out of MRR'ing for a while and have been thinking of getting into N or HO scale in the house..... well, with spring coming on....... it has me thinking more of an outdoor G scale. I want to weigh all my options, before I start spending my hard earned dollars. Thanks for any direction anyone might give me. <br /> <br /><b>Jim wrote:</b> <br />[quote]QUOTE: I use stuff called screenings, or crusher fines,or road dust, which is just slate colored leftovers from cutting and grinding slate, or whatever.[/quote] <br /> <br />Where do you find these "screenings"? <br /> <br /><b>whiterab wrote:</b> <br /> [quote]QUOTE: I built in 8' - 10' secttions. I just trenched down about 4" - 5" and lined the trench with plastic garden edging ripped down to the depth I wanted. I then filled the trench with concrete and double checked the level. While I was waiting for one section to set up, I'd extend the trench down.[/quote] <br /> <br />This sounds easy enough.... but what do you secure your track with to the concrete? <br /> <br />Thanks for your help. <br /> <br /> <br />
