Hi,  I'm new to garden railroading, but did just build a small figure 8 out back this summer that my daughter and I enjoy.  I'll try to post some pictures of it later.     As I think about expansion, and read articles on here, I see lots of good suggestions about raising the railroad.  But here is the thing that I don't get:  don't you need to raise the ground as well?  I mean, the buildings and station and such will need to be on the same level as the track.  So do you end up with a garden railroad in a giant flower box.  I can sort of see this for a small railroad setup, but if you want more track and more large curves, this could be lots of work filling.  Plus you would have to climb up into the garden bed to work on the middle of the layout, which would mean lots of bending over and all. Can anyone help me understand this?Thanks,Mark
