Joysboy, thanks for the vote of confidence!!!!! I think this is a first for me, what I have done being used as an answer to a question [:)] ok, now that I am off my ego trip -LOL [;)] I'll get to the question at hand.... MD, I did concrete for many reasons, but I cannot tell you about time (as I poured only this year). By deffinition concrete will not grow weeds or allow much shifting which is one of the reasons I used it (but the weeds will grow up next to the track and lay over the rails...) But check out Marty Cozad's layout, he has been using it for years... ( type his name and concrete in the search engine and you will get mult results.....), I cant find the link I was looking for that won me over to concrete.... I can tell you this method is time intesive, and I am only part way done building, but I dont plan to switch methods as I am satisfied with the results so far. I can only tell you that the masonite forms I started with were great to get smooth curves but took ALOT more time than the 3/8" plywood forms (and the plywood forms are reusable) to get level. Once I switched to plywood the process went a lot quicker. Also having access to a cement mixer is nice is you plan to do it in a large batches ( I poured what I have done in two batches, the mixer made the pours much quicker). My progress update with all my notes (which completes what is on my site is): http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=59881 FYI if you go to my site everyting is in the photo section, good luck what ever route you may choose....
