Hi <br />By now a list of books has probably been given my[2c] worth on other things <br />I use crusher dust for ballast. <br />Before geting carried away with milion's tracks on your track plan. <br />sit back relax have a cup of tea and think over the theme of your line what you want it too be ie std gauge or narrow gauge main line, branch line or logger <br />what is your existing garden like, what will threaten your safety if you mess with it (domestic managements favorite plant perhaps) all of this will affect your track plan before it is finalised. <br />I personaly favor having an oval in the track plan somewhere but what ever you do keep it simple enough to keep problems and maintainance to an absalute minimum, but have enough sidings and passing loops as apropriate to your theme to keep it interesting to operate. <br />regards John
