Me again.  Wow, your responces have been terrfic.  Keep them coming!  The week end here was bad so didn't take measurements yet.  The area as I mentioned is quite large so I don't think there will be any problem with curve radius.  I will use 6' curves for most and maybe even one 8' if the layout works I have in mind. I have a screened-in covered patio off the back door of the house.  The garden area is just off the patio.  I plan to run a spur track into the patio from the main line so at night, or during bad weather, I can bring the train/s inside.  There will be one large loop around the primeter of the garden with smaller inter loops connected to form a figure eight.  Where the figure eight crosses is a fairly large open area with no plants.  This is where we have chairs and benches set up to relax in and enjoy the garden. The garden area is fenced in with a wooden picit fence.  It is completed hidden from the rest of the back yard and neighbor's houses by large shrubs and hedges.  When your in the garden it's like being in a tropical "hide-a-way."   I see at least one bridge over a sunken gully and one or more tunnels through man-made moutains.  The train will be Bachmann's "Mountaineer," a  4-6-0 Anniversity Edition Engine.  It will have three passenger cars.  Other rolling stock will be added as time goes on. So, will be looking for advice on power supplys, track, switches, road bed construction and anything else anyone can think of.  This project kicks off as soon as the weather here turns nice again, late March or early April. I'd like to post some pictures, someone tell me how to do that in the forum........... Thanks again to everyone's comments.
