Reply to "How about bigger than G scale in the back yard, a new beginning"

As the rain is holding off this morning, some track construction has commenced outdoors.   Almost have 2 curved panels built.  Hoping to finish half the circle so i can set the position at this end of the loop.  The paver block walkway will be changed to a treated wood board walk and grade crossing, then ballest stone around the fire pit.  I will also adjust the paver block edging to more closely match the curve once its done.  Waiting on cordless batteries to recharge so I can start mounting more ties to the rail. I am using the pregauged plastic ties from Accutie, along with thier rail that they precurved for me.  The rail, ties, stainless lag bolts, tie bars and matching hardware(all stainless) was $540 bucks.  this will give me a 20' circle with up to a 10' straight on each side.  I wont know how long the straight sections will be till I build the south end of the loop as I park my boat up against the south fence.  So I need to leave enough room to back it in with our four wheeler or the garden tractor.
