<p>Various parts of my layout are raised but most is not. I think it is a bit sweeping to say one is better than the other. My opinion has been for some time; after viewing many layouts, that raised is harder to do but easier to operate when it is finished especially if you are getting on in age as am i.</p><p>It is true if you raise your track you do have to raise your trackside stuff as well and in some cases this can be very hard to do.</p><p>What Walt says is right, you do have to use treated timber (lumber) and it can be expensive but it can be a lot easier to use year in and year out. I had not thought of what Walt has said about having a helicopter view, he is quite right of course but it has never affected me at all. ie i have not been adversly affected by this type of view.</p><p>Rgds Ian</p>
