Dig out your roadbed about 6 inches deep. That is if you are in winter country. half that if you don't get winter. Make the trench as square and level as possible. Lay in some course crushed stone about 3 inches deep. On top of that put in crushed stone half the size again for about 1.5 inches. On top of that put fine crushed stone and make sure all is leve. It is probably good to be just above ground level. Lay your track on that. <br /> You will have good drainage and the frost in the winter will do less damage. This is labour intensive, but inexpensive. You can dive rods down in it if you want you can drive small diameter rods in the roadbed and attach it however to the ties. This will also help keep the track from moving with weather extremes. On rod per three foot section or six foot section would sufice. Hope this gives you some ideas.<br />
