Electric powered track connections are a horrible idea for outdoor garden railroading, especially running long freight on really long track. I prefer battery powered model trainsets.

The alternative is to set things up for a weekend or two's use. The better quality G scale trains have some heft to them; they will be just fine with track laid right in the grass with minimal fiddling with leveling the track other than some very basic adjusting. Use plastic track joiners to hold the sections together and away you go. Run it thru the mulch - snuggle it down into it, spread a little between the rails and pat it down. Once you're done, pick it all up, blow the track free of grass and whatnot or hose it down, put it away, do it again another time. There's a reason to go with large scale - it's not finicky.

It's the tracks and where they lead which is the romance for me. Once, when fishing up in the hills of upstate Pennsylvania, I found remnants of a long ago abandoned railway which I later learned was part of a logging operation in the early-1900s. What I stumbled upon was sections of old track, raised rail beds and the path which meandered along the course of a stream. Nearby were pieces of a discarded cast iron stove and my imagination spun the scene from what I'd found. Loggers, lumbermen seated around a table at a rail spur's terminus in a glade eating their breakfast or lunch, dinner perhaps, some one hundred years ago. My father and his hunting buddies had never encountered the remains of this rail spur and they congratulated me on my find.

If you are building something this small or similar size, do yourself a big favor and build a raised bed to put it on. You gain it being easier to operate on as you are not at ground level. My layout is only 16" but it makes a huge difference not having to get on my knees to put things on or off the track.

That’s a really good idea. We have gophers, skunks, and raccoons. Any road I might construct on the ground wound be buried or torn up within days. Either your idea, or an elevated track. Backyard Shinkansen!

... NO !!! Not all the different track manufactures are interchangable !!! The problem is mostly w/ the switches, but also the track. It is not the width of the track ... it is about the "depth" of the track rail. The Merklin track and switches are not as tall on the rail height, therefore the "flanges" on the wheels bottom out on the "ties" and can lead to a de-railment. Especially, on the "frogs" on the swiches or crossings. I would stay w/ "LGB" or "REA" when possible. When buying "Used" track inspect the "inside" of the "outside" rail on the curved sections as that is were they wear due to the Medal/Steel wheels rubbing as the train goes around the curve. (And I've seen many worn out curved sections ... especially on a lay-out w/ lots of hours of running time, like in a store display ...) So ... Merklin rolling stock can run on "LGB" & "REA" ...but ... "LGB" rolling stock can have problems on Merklin track ...

You know, this video's instructions can apply to gauges larger than 45mm/gauge-1. Larger gauges just need more space. Although when you get to a certain size gauge or larger or if you run RC (either battery or live steam), you don't need a power pack since the locomotives are all powered internally.
