<p>I am just starting out in Garden Railroading. I have just moved and will have an area of about 35 feet deep x 60 feet wide to work with. It seems much too steep as it is. There is a 5 foot elevation drop from the front to the back of area. Its pretty level side to side. I am going to put in a retaining wall to get it more level.</p><p>I have read that a completely flat area is not as interesting to work with as one with some slope. I am not into mountain railroading, but just more of a general type of railroading. So my question is can anyone offer advice about the slope. Would a 2 foot drop from front to back be about right, or is that too steep?</p><p> </p><p>Thanks for any help you can give me.</p><p> </p><p>-Jim </p>
