Harry, Jim Pitts track. There is a picture of it on the back cover of SitG number 68 and here is a link to it on Southern Steam Trains website. http://www.southernsteamtrains.com/gallery02/will&jimcoalfired02-1027.jpg
Also check issue 67 of SitG for an article on building a raised layout. The Trex could be substituted for the regular deck boards the author used quite easily.

The plank was cut into short sections the width of the deck at whatever point and laid cross-wise with a small space between each plank. The deck was edged by a continuous skirt, wood I suppose, and the planks nestled very neatly between the skirts. Does anyone know whose track this is or know of another similarly constructed track? The cost of the synthetic plank might make this an expensive technique but the whole thing looked really nifty AND weather resistant. Cheers, Harry
