Can anyone who has put one together (or at least knows some resources for it) 
help me out with decisions and/or ideas on starting a garden railway?

I'm tempted to get rid of all my HO stuff and do a garden railway, but I'm not 
going to dive overboard unless I think it's a good thing to do.

1) I've got HO, but would like to go to O-scale for outside.  Is that ok for 
gardens?  *Could* HO be used?
2) My property is very hilly, and certainly (right now) could not easily have a 
'normal' garden railway (it resembles a meadow, with a dog and 5 cats to patrol 
it).  The only way I can easily think to put something in would be to purposely 
landscape a section of the yard...otherwise I'd be having to run trestles all 
over and then mow around it.  Any other ideas?
3) Are there any good websites/resources for garden railways (maybe even with 
CB&Q/BN examples)?

Cheers!

Jan
