Yep, they have done a great job so far, the big freeze over last winter was the only thing that stopped everything, heck, it was frozen two feet down, no man can dig in that without a power breaker

The pictures really make the the layout look bigger than it really is. I take my hat off to you sir, as this can be quite difficult to do with small/medium sized garden railroads.
