Here are some pictures of my outdoor area. The tracks exit about 36” high at the back of the house and the big trestle will curve around the retaining wall to the area. I have to deal with the deck support post so will be looking at the best way to make it all look and work right. The area has a 3’ high stone retaining wall that separates it from the side of my upper front yard. One big stone was strategically placed when we di the landscape of the yard so it could be a good location for a waterfall down into a pond. There’s a couple boulders that will be moved and all kind of extra stones along the west edge. There are two edges, on the east and North that are raised from my back yard. My intentions are to either use flat stone or even treated piling to top off these two walls bringing out the usable top surface closer to the edge. There will be plenty of fill brought in to raise the areas as needed. This area was built up with the available materials in my yard which were mainly very coarse sand and small river rock so this whole area drains extremely well seeing there’s 2-3’ of depth. Now, to start figuring out my tracklayout. The area is right about 55x40’. Also, was digging under my train table and found a box of weathered, but well made trestles I picked up from someone years ago. They should come in handy.
