Hi all, I am building a line in my garden and to start of its going to be a small loop which is portable. I have been thinking on how to make this line intresting. So far my ideas include a small tunnel and a level crossing. The second may be a problem though as i am certinally no electrition. The basic idea would be for the lights to change every so ofen eg while the light to cross the track is green the line next to the crossing is red and vice versa. So i was wandering if you can think of some good things to make this line intresting and how this crossing mentioned above mite work-note i would probally run the signal of car batterys if possible. Many thanks James |

How about digging a small trench to build a nice bridge for the railway to run over? |
