Hi Don, From what you have described I think you made the same mistake I did some 40 years ago when I built my first layout using cork roadbed. If the ties of the track are aligned to the edge of the roadbed you will come out with more roadbed on one side of a curve than the other. In the future align your track to the centerline of the roadbed and the track ties will come out eqi-distant from the edges of the roadbed, even in curves. Don't take up what you've got though if it works well...just like you said add some more scenery and ballast...it will come out looking great. Take Care....Vic
