A year into my little garden layout and I find one thing I would definately change..... raise the track up from ground level. As VSmith had suggested, a "planter type " foundation bringing the track to 6-8 inches above ground level (the whole layout area) boardered by landscape ties, natural rock or whatnot and then filled with soil would have been ideal. OLD DADs method of a completely raised track has it's merits also, looks like Horses for Courses. I have been able to run all winter here in "Jersey, broomed off the snow, put on an extra vest and steamed away. I used a trench filled with crushed shale, drainage was no problem, no frost heave, track expansion-contraction has been noticeable but minimal. ( allow your track to float, also, some space between sections, dimes width, seems to work for me) Continuing "Manifest Destiny", expansion plans for track will continue to use trench and fill without plastic edging, but with a wider right-of-way. Good luck to you all this spring, have fun and start reasonable, your milage may vary.......
