It's been some years since I've been around the forums. An extra child and a move that was a couple of years in process does that to train activity.
Anyway, my last layout was built with a variant of ladder construction and I was pretty happy with it and would use it again but I'm now in mid-Ontario and the ground most definitely freezes. My concern is that frost heave would play havoc with the supports of a ladder road-bed.
Is this a valid concern, if so, how do others deal with it?
Thanks
