As always there are different ways to solve a particular problem. <br /> <br />I have a 7 acre lot that is at the base of a mountain and there is not much of the surface that is level. <br /> <br />I built a retaiing wall of railroad ties and then "created" a flat area to place the layout. My initial layout has approximately 250 feet of track with 16 foot diameter circles at each end. At the center the layout is only 10 feet wide, but it is approximately 75 feet long. Email me at creilly@teampanels.com and I'll reply with some pictures. <br /> <br />By building a retaining wall up, you could get ahead of the sloop and then create a large area that is as flat as you wish it to be. <br /> <br />I have some suggestions to the design of the retaining wall if your interested. <br /> <br />Chuck Reilly
