Depending on what you want things to look like you can use alot of trestles or brick/stone work or fill the area in with soil and retaining walls. You could cut into what you have and use that soil to level things off. Its hard to recommend without seeing your space. <br />The short answer to your question about maximum grade is 5% grade. That is for example, a 5 inch drop or rise over a 100 inch stretch of track. It is not very steep for a train to climb as I have found out but anything more will be to fast coming down. Good luck and enjoy your trains. <br />pfd586
