This will be my first endeavor at a garden railway. My problems are very high winds; up to 110 mph. I live at the base of Mt Rose, a ski area in the Sierra's on the Nevada side. My land consists of approx. .8 acres and I have ample room to play. I am planning to begin with a boomarang shape and go from there. I was thinking of Type II base (used in concrete as a base prior to pouring the concrete) as this seems to stay put. I also get alot of snow but nothing outrageous. Should I consider something else for my base or am I on the right track. Also, I was considering using wood as well as concrete landscape blocks (6"X8"x16"). The wood was going to be pine that I will treat with an outside weather resistant chemical. Part of my plan will also encompass a pond I recently built. It is approx. 25' across by 15'. I plan to circle the pond rather than attempt to cross it. [:)]
