Thanks for the update Larry.

I think it looks fabulous!

What type of track will you be laying?

Regards and Happy Easter!

I use Sunset Valley 45mm Narrow Gauge track and brass rail which seems to work out well for me both indoor and outside. Once I get the deck on the next thing to consider is how I'm going to fix the track to it. In the past I've used rail clamps on the rail joints and let the tie strips move but this time I might use rail joiners and screw the tie strips down solid. It should work both ways but in reality I'm not so sure - have to think about it and the way the weather is acting up I think I'm going to have plenty of time.
Regards,
Larry
