I did the 6 inch deep by 6 inch wide trench. If I were to do it again, I would go with a shallower trench, and fill it with larger gravel for my sub base.
That is exactly how I lay my track. A shallow 1.5-2" trench filled with "drainage rock’ from Lowes.Then final layer of “paver base” again from Lowes. This is how it ends up.
Of course moving all that rock with that lonesome ballast car does take a bit of time.(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
