Hello Kim, <br /> This is a topic close to my heart.My garden (130')slopes quite considerably.At the moment I have two loops at the top on vague level ground.I did try to use a cutting to get to the sloping part but then found that the slope would be too great for trains with more than two carriages.My Dad suggested that I use fenceposts to raise the track progressively as it goes down the garden.(the track at the end of the garden would be about waist height)I was against this at first because I wanted the railway to blend in with the garden.However,after taking my trains to his layout (with gradients)it proved him right.What I am going to do now is use "Metposts"to fix my fenceposts in the garden with marine ply cut to suit on the top.I am going to cut into the hedge at the edge of my garden so that in time the hedge will grow around the supports leaving the trains to run at the new level above ground.I am going to make the plywood top double track width to allow for further loops. <br />In fact any raised railbed can be enhanced by placing plants underneath.There is nothing worse than the perpetual bridge.
