I’ve had this flower bed mulched over for a long time. After going to the ECLSTS many times and meeting Ric Golding and having my son monopolize this timesaver, I was inspired to use this flower bed to make my own timesaver.
This is the space after I’ve removed the mulch and tilled the soil:
Since this is under the over hang of the sun room and does not get wet at all, I need to bury a soaker hose so the plants can get some water. I plan on putting sedums in between the tracks. (The grey rocks are outdoor speakers for the radio in the shed, so we can enjoy music on the patio.)
This will give you an idea of the layout once I’m done. towards the background, I plan to use the trestles you see stacked up to ‘bridge’ this timesaver with the rest of the layout in the other flower garden (I was considering a WYE at the end and a portal into the shed to store the engines/freight and to use that as my battery recharging station :-)).
forcast for thunder storms tonight, so I figured I’d post this. I’ll provide updated photos as I progress. This weekend will be nice weather and with no real family plans, I might get most of it done (oh, wait, I’m low on rail clamps 
darn! I’ll do as much as I can :-))
