An interesting discussion. <br /> <br />I know from prior readings and discussion with OLD DAD he does things I would not have thought possible. But it is obvious that his methods regarding elevated track go against what I had been taught earlier, but seem to work superbly for him. For me, I'm going to consider him the prime authority on the subject since he also lives in a colder clime than I do. <br /> <br />My method has always been pretty much the same as is done in the "real" full sized world. I TOTALLY endorse the crusher fines method, and even most specificly, Lava Crusher fines. It's not cheap, but when I'm done I walk on my track heel to toe and it stays firmly in place. I trench a little deeper than described above, and may cut back to 6 or 8 inches on my next lay just to see. <br /> <br />I had a far larger drainage problem in Hawaii than I now have in NM, and may not need as deep a trench to deal with it.
