After modeling it in autocad to see what all it would include, the grade isnt a actualy as bad as i thought it could be, it shoul work out to be about 3.5% grade which is steep ( i know) but with only 3 or 4 cars being pulled im sure ill be okay. I spent some time today and broke out a large section of the origional pond, which turns out is 4 inch thick cement neted with chicken wire... needless to say my sledge had a workout today. <br /> In about a week or so Ill be removing two trees (overgorwn bushes) that are in my way, and leveling the land. From that point ill be ready to landscape. Any Ideas where i can get a good O-Gauge set for a reasonable price? id prefer not to use Lionel becasue the three rail track thing isnt exactly what im looking for. <br /> <br />-Richard <br /> <br />-Edit- <br /> <br />the second picture i posted is a little messy because i did it in paint.. here it is a little more accurately. The section where the tracks cross is not a crossing, but an over and under. The smaller bridge is elevated to about 16-20" above ground level. to be next to a waterfall, where as the larger bridge is about 2" above the ground, and 5" above the waterline. <br />http://www.sirsack.com/richards/track.jpg <br />[img]http://www.sirsack.com/richards/track.jpg[/img]
