In one September weekend in 1996, my oldest son
and I laid the entire 250' main line with LGB 1600 turnouts and
Aristo 5' straight sections converted to flex track.
Temporary structures were made from plywood to substitute for
trestles and bridges that were eventually built for these
locations. It is perfectly acceptable to get cheap and dirty to get
track down as it can always be fixed later. It is important to
check out the design and work out the bugs before too much is cast
in concrete, although I poured a lot of concrete before I laid any
track.
