Ramblings on a Garden Railroad
I have not seen many posts in garden layouts. My interest is a railroad to serve the Lilliputians living among the bushes and around the edges of my yard. This would be designed to operate as any of the smaller scales and based on railroad practices as much as I have knowledge to do. Help here is appreciated.
Please consider following along and provide your input. I am very open to ideas and look forward to a new journey.

Let’s see your fascia!
A WPF recently got sidetracked over fascia design and color. I really found everyone’s design and choices interesting. Please post yours here or ideas for making it more attractive, efficient, useful, etc.
Thanks!

ProtoThrottle Update
Just a quick update on the ProtoThrottle... A few weeks back, it went through Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing at NCEE Labs in Lincoln, NE.
It passed!
Here are some photos from the testing:
How do you plan sidings and spurs along a grade?
Let's assume a layout being made for operating, with a long section of track on a continouous grade of 2% (an incline, nolix...doesn't matter).
How does one deal with sidings and spurs that need to be placed along that grade that serve various industries when the track is continuously climbing up? What if there's a need for a small yard, or an interchange?
Does one level the grade, add the additional trackwork to accomodate industries on a flat portion, then continue the grade?; or
New LDEs for Critique
Hello again,
I have re-worked my LDEs on all 3 decks based on some of the suggestions from the other thread (Classification Yard next to Staging?)
Please take a look at them and give me your critique/opinion about the general arrangement, operational aspects, and anything else that comes to mind. Everything should be self-explanatory, as it is marked in the LDEs.
