Required 4 large dump truck loads of dirt to fill retaining wall; 4 canvass bags of gravel #9 weighing 1  1/2 tons each, to cover track balasts throughout.  There will be two outer loop mainline tracks each 150 feet long;  the retaining wall area will house a rail yard with multiple switches, sidings, loco sheds, etc.  The layout will be controlled using a 12 amp Massoth DCC Command Station powered by a Massoth 12 Amp DC Power Supply and a Massoth DiMax Navigator hand-held wireless controller.  All track switches will have a Massoth Single Channel Switch Decoder Installed.
