So here is the plan! The area is about 7mx 5m. I will have the tracks laid in blocks. The bf and I (mostly the bf lol) will dig out where the blocks will be laid. Then have blue metal down on top of that, will have a cloth material for drainage. Then the cement/mortar and finally the blocks on that. The tracks will be curved etc not straight like that. I plan to have a pond in the middle with a beach scene and a mountain and waterfall scene with a tunnel through the mountain. The pinkish track going from the station to the beach will be in N scale with a tram taking people to and from the beach. This will be a slope as I plan to have the blocks 100mm of the ground. On the other side from where the mountain will be I’m probably going to put some kind of removable bridge in to let a lawn mower in most likely a trestle bridge. I will try and get some photos up tomorrow of where I plan do it. First thing before any of this starts is to finish the kitchen renovation and re do the stormwater pipes as they are the old terracotta pipes which are blocked. Anyway that’s the basic idea of what I have planned. It’s all in my head atm how I want it lol. Autumn is over and hopefully all the leaves have stopped falling and we can get a start on this project soon. Oh and there will be plenty of pictures!

thanx for the welcome traingeekboy! Here is a plan of the front yard i will be doing just a rough plan. Plan was done with anyrail 5

Hey Mick! Thanx for the welcome! I have picked up a few things from this website. With the baseboard construction it depends if I do it in the back yard or front yard. Front yard I would do it on blocks etc and back yard would be raised with treated wood for the posts and aluminium angle for the frame and maybe plaster board painted with an exterior primer and then coated with roofing felt. I would run dcc as I already have that. I have a mixture of steam and diesel. I would probably just do it free style as I like to be a bit creative. I plan to have a mountain area with coal etc and a city scene. Kristina!
