Reply to "My Backyard Garden Railway! New pics for 2021."

Dewman51, I live in NE PA,  and we do have significant snow in the winter. That said, as per some instructions for simple outdoor layouts that I found online, I laid out my initial track plan, marked it and removed the track. I then trenched down about 4 inches, filled it with fine gravel for drainage, and then laid the track back in place. Once down, I ballasted the track with fine gravel. I placed flagstone blocks, partially buried near the tracks for station and building support. It’s been about five years now, and in the spring, I just reconnect track feeders, clean the track with alcohol and a light emory cloth and again with a clean cloth. It’s just like real railroad maintenance!
