... fresh eye. I think it looks much better with shallower angle and the field at the top of the embankment significantly lower. And I found a good photo of the stair case that rises from track level up to the road above. In my photo it shows it with wooden handrail on both sides and dated early 70's. So I'm wondering if that was likely to be the original one or whether for the year I'm modelling (1922) it might have been a metal railing? Anyone got any ideas or educated guesses? 2787_261818_340000000.jpg That's it for tonight.

The railway will have been placed into position by removing ground to provide the cutting. That cutting would have had a fixed gradient for the location to suit the material involved. When performing the cut, that batter would extend up until it met the original surface ...
