In response to your question as to how I smoothed the transitions, I just used some 120 grit sand paper, and took the bump out of the foam where the incline meets level terrain. I did not measure it, but I would estimate I only removed a couple of millimeters of material. It is very little. I too used WS foam roadbed, which does very well at smoothing over small bumps. I was always told however, and am not always very good at following it, but that trackwork is in the prep work. I have found it is a lot less frustrating later to spend some time smoothing your subroadbed, then the foam or cork is easier to apply and the track just lays on. Anyway, the main thing is to get that track down. Most of us spend all our time in the planning. Hope this helps.
