First, a caution: what is the slope comprised of? If, for instance, it's loose soil, or has a clay substrate, you should first concern yourself with stability. This includes you or others falling off the slope when it collapses beneath you. I've experienced this, and if you land on bolders, it isn't in the least bit funny. Second, your description isn't sufficiently clear. Do you mean a four foot decrease in elevation along a 20 foot face of undefined slope? If so, what is the problem you're really facing? Stuff that needs to be known: 1) an established baseline height (elevation); this should be used throughout your railroad. 2) the elevations and distances concerning you for this particular issue. 3) the cuts and fills needed to provide a working right of way. 4) soil/rock composition. 5) climatic extremes. (I have a creek that floods occasionally and washes out stuff.) 6) Type of running you're doing. A crack 1/32 express needs a smoother grade than a 1/24 geared logging loco. In any case, everything you anticipate seems doable, and with additional information, I'd be glad to help. Can you email/post some digital pics of the site. Maybe borrow a camera to do so? Best wishes, -David
