I face this problem being that many neighborhood children and other...individuals cut across the section where my line will eventually run. I had planned to build a fence, however, it was finding myself going stir crazy. Here are some of my tips... <br /> <br />1) Enlist the neighborhood kids as security. By being emotionally invested in the railroad they will drive off non-neighboorhood ruffians. All one has to do is invest in one or two of those "Scientific, Toys" locomotives (via the internet) and offer it up as a sacrifice. They will take good care of it. These things can be found on e-bay. I call them "Sow's ears" <br /> <br />2) Plan some garden plants (i.e. tomatoes, et al) around the outside of the layout. The growth will cover up the line from casual passers by. In winter the plants may die, but one can use gardening to camoflauge the line. <br /> <br />3) Aristo track is a plus, it is too cumbersome to steal all at once. <br /> <br />4) I bring in all my structures. A small toolshed for storage of my structures may become my choice for best protection. <br /> <br />Well, that's all for now!!!
