I saw that article last spring, we disscussed it here briefly, and I decided to try it. Finding the material was the hardest part. The suppliers where in Ohio, Wisconsin, Illinois and here I am in western Colorado. They would ship but most had minimun orders, some a 1000 feet. Shipping was $300 to $400. I finally found a guy in Denver (about 150 miles) who sells it for fence material. With 24 hours notice he would move it from a storage site and I could pick it up at his store. About $21.00 for a ten foot piece. He had 8's and 12's too. I bought 50 feet to try it. The first couple of sections were a little clumsey, but then I got the hang of it and building the frame and laying Aristo track was actually pretty smooth. I only did the 50 feet and have not run a train on it yet. The ground is starting to freeze now so it will be next spring before I do anymore. I plan on continuing with the HDPE, but will wait to see what condition it is in after a Colorado winter at 7000 feet elevation. I got a few scraps of TREK from a friend who works at a lumber yard. Only a little cheaper and seemed to be a little brittle when trying to bend it.
