I agree a raised line is a good idea tho harder to get a prototypical effect . i have seen posts set in the ground linked with timber to give a trackbed at the desired height . If you can get scrap timber ie pallets it would saye money . Alternatively concrete blocks set in the ground on mortar can be economical as they are fairly cheap . both methods involve some labour tho.The main cost is track , I favour aristocraft for strength and ease of use . Having used LGB and Peco it is superior to both . Track is cheaper if bought in bulk and I source most of mine from Ebay . I would suggest it as a source for all your requirements .If you have any existing solid feature such as a path or low wall consider running the track on or slightly raised from it to reduce groundwork. It will be well worth the effort of construction , I am on my third garden layout and it is a real pleasure seeing it come to completion.
