[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by kimbrit</i> <br /><br />Hi, <br />A ballast base sounds like it would be best here. You could have to consider raising the track level by laying stones either side and infilling with gravel to get way above any water problems. Lots of rain?, water level rises and falls? if not is there an entry/exit water courses to bridge? Lots of questions and everybody's answer will differ, but you sure will have fun! <br />Cheers, <br />Kim <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I keep seeing images of the power pack falling into the pool and really causing an international news story. <br /> <br />That is my only concern, I no longer have the knowledge of electrical formulas but imagine, in accordance with Ohm’s law, a wet foot across two electrified rails might cause and…undesired result. <br /> <br />Just raising a safety issue. <br /> <br />However, a line around a pond might look really nice and have potential. Just keep in mind the issue of changing water levels. <br />
