I used Woodland Scenics inclines and carved the tops near the top to fix this along with rasping the cork.

How thick is the roadbed support?  You might be able to sand the hump down to a usable hump.

"HOW TO AVOID VERTICAL CURVES"
Posted by TrainsRMe1 on Wednesday, August 11, 2021 8:41 AM

Hello All,                                                                                                                  I'm working on my second level of my Nscale layout, I'm not usuing a helix, rather I'm using risers from one level to the next, and at the point were the riser meets the second level I notice I have a vertical curve ( A hump in the track at the crest of the hill), how can I fix this problem???? Thank You and take care.                                                 Trainsrme1Cool
