More a garden layout than a garden railway!

My railway is at ground level with viewing from our deck and benches thru out the garden. I enjoy having plants invade the right-of-way and having to trim them back. Part of gardening. I have taken to bonsaiing
Red cedars, boxwood, dogwood, maples, locust, and red bud trees and bushes. Lots of enjoyment. I have creeping jenny, ajuga, and sedum as ground cover. Always looking for more plants to add. The more ground cover and small trees the less weeds.:mad:

Could you update us with the plan you chose.
How much track have you installed.
I'm enjoying this adventure. :happy:
 
I opted for a layout that encompasses some of the aspects of those suggested and as a reminder, I'll attache a photograph showing the plan.(Picture 1)

So far all the track is laid out on the slabs and gravel in my small garden. I have installed the reverse loop on the right and that seems to work. It has been the reverse loop at the bottom left which has been the subject of my posts but I think now with the help of a member I'm in a position to continue with my wiring.

Greg, if you really do want to be accurate you could amend it as follows please?

The reverse loop that runs horizontally across from one side to the other is now at more of a angle from the top line to the bottom left hand corner just before the point. This has isolating joiners at each end and controlled by a DPDT switch

The spur off the double reverse loop is now closer to the bottom track. I have deliberately not put this inside the reverse loop.

The passing loop at the bottom can be dispensed with for the moment.

Thus bringing me to the "double" reverse loop. I have isolating joiners on both tracks just before they join to the bottom track and I have installed isolating joiners in the single track top curve.

This part is very temporary until I have it running as I want.

Thanks,

SW
