Hi Kelly, <br /> <br />There is an interesting DVD for sale in the UK called "Railways In Your Garden Vols 1 & 2 " go to www.atlanticpublishers.com for details. There is a garden railway with a similar gradient but smaller size. <br /> <br />I would not recommend too steep a gradient. I have short runs of 1 in 25 on my layout and this is close to the limit for live steam. You did not say if you intended a live steam operation. Try to keep any curves as big as possible as running radio controlled live steam on tight curves with a steep gradient is a challenge. A mixture of terraces, cuttings and tunnels would work well. <br /> <br />Good luck <br /> <br />Stuart
