Well, normally I get an instant response to the initial request by email to assign a password. Not happening anytime now and I need to pack up...

Will pursue via remote email if permitted. Hang tight.

I have been dealing with this problem for years. I have a very unlevel yard. I first decided where to put my first loop.I tried landscape timbers on concrete that lasted 1 year. I then tried a sand base under the timbers and put 1 inch pressure treated wood on top screwing it into the landscape timbers. I then finally found a great solution. I used stepping stones on top of sand and then 2 layers of
1 BY 8inch by 12 pressuretreated wood. I then interlocked them together buy using 1 8 foot then 1 12 foot and screwing them together then I added 1 by 6 inch by 12 foot pressure treated wood on top. For curves I built 4 by 4 foot platforms USING THICK DECKING BOARDS ALL THIS WAS
ON TOP OF A SAND BASE FOR LARGER DIPS USE A STANDARD CONCRETE BLOCKS DIGGING THEM INTO GROUND AS YOU GO UP UNTIL YOU HAVE ONE ONLY SLIGHTLY BURIED I USE GRAVEL AROUND ALL THE BLOCKS TO HOLD THEM IN PLACE IT REALLY WORKS WELL SO GOOD LUCK AND TAKE YOUR TIME I have been working on my layout for 2 years and run my trains weekly with great sucess
 
Gentlemen - it's the policy of MLS to discourage negative postings about other forums/sites. While we have no problem with other sites being mentioned here, negative commentary about them is strongly discouraged. We don't appreciate it when they allow MLS bashing on their sites, and I'm sure they don't appreciate it when it happens here. Besides, we don't want or need any bad blood between sites and nothing constructive comes from it... not for them, not for us, and not for the hobby.

Please feel free to refer others to info posted on other sites, but keep any personally perceived problems with, or less than flattering opinions about, other sites off of MLS. Let's take the high road.

Thanks.
 
Sorry Dwight. Won't happen again. I did not intend to bash the other site, I was trying to make a point about curtsey to fellow members. And what happens when we don't self moderate( should have taken my own advice)

Great! We're back to the subject.
Lost And Confused (nothing shorter we can use?) - doesn't sound as if you are too lost. Burying stepping stones in gravel is similar to building a wall or track support from landscaping stones or bricks.

Where are you, as I assume frost heave isn't a problem?
