the amount of local lateral stability desired.

to provide the lateral support required by
the layout design and back filling with dirt. Lateral motion is going to be a
larger problem than any frost induced vertical
motion or frost induced differential motion.

I think that the risk of frost heave is non existant unless your layout is
constructed in such a manner that you induce
the conditions to get differential expansion or contraction.

Option "A" will work just fine. It is a little large in diameter so I would
plan on bulkhead connectors on each side of the smoke box unless you can deal
with somthing 1/10" in diameter that is brown and will always be brown.

boilers, I think I would opt for draining at the end of the season
and dry with a heat gun. Larger, I
would go with the hot air as it will keep the interior dry and the exterior warm and
is cheap and easy to do.
