I can not decide between a ladder track bed systems with its apparent advantage of leveling and grading independent of the present landscaping and the strength and stability of the pored reinforced concrete roadbed. I have been leaning towards the concrete but dreading the moving of the dirt. Last weekend we went to some open houses sponsored by the Rose City Garden Railway Society and am now itching to get some track down and run a train. So to make a short question long has anyone ever done both? Used PVC pipe as a form for the posts and made the spans from reinforced concrete?
I think I can drive the pipe into the ground, cut them all off at the correct heights fill them with concrete and put rebar stubs out the top. Then if I chose the right materials for the deck forms I should be able to use them multiple times.
Or am I trying to make it extra hard?
