Tim, <br /> Right now I'm moving dirt, digging dirt, building a wall and patio all to get ready. the plan is a simple dogbone that will give me about 96 feet of double track before separating for the loops on either side of my back yard. Instead of running track around the swimming pool as so many do, I decided to get it a foot off the main yard level and up against the back and side wall/fence. The track will only cross a walkway once...and that's my spur into the AZ room on the back patio where the trains will be stored. I've had some setbacks liked a pulled back muscle and we've had record rain here. But I think I'll be ready to lay the track before Memorial Day. p.s. AZ dirt is more like cement than soil. <br />As for plants...that's still in discussion because of our harsh summers. <br />I purchased an MTH loco to get the fantasy started and plan to use a Bridgewerks power supply and MTH DCS. I'm running low voltage lines fron Malibu to light structures, etc and they'll be on a solar timer. Now if we could just get the little G-scale people to walk, talk and fini***he landscaping LOL <br />Ken <br />
