| I've come out of the elephant ear forest and am crossing the lawn. This part was easy because it was pretty level. I added curves for interest. I dug up the grass underneath and used this along areas where the bricks were above ground and had no support on the side. I use the short level above to keep the track level side to side and use the longer one to keep it level lengthwise. |

| The gentle curves look nice.You want to avoid sharp turns as much as possible. Although smaller 4 and 3/4 inch gauge engines can handle curves as small as 10 feet radius, the more gradual curves the less drag on your engines and you'll be able to accomodate bigger engines as well. |

| Out of the lawn and back into overgrowth. |

| Looking good so far. Again I should have waited to throw the track down before putting in the ballast. Try to keep straight lengths of track between curves, S curves can cause problems. |
Very impressive. How do you keep the army of cheap labor out of the photos?
