Just putting in a bit of road. Don't let the high sides hang you up. The surrounding terrain will be built up like embankments, like the local road here are.

This shows they are the right size.

To make the flangeways for the railroad crossings I used lengths of waxed dress shoe strings laid next to rail. I then put drywall compound into the rest of the space and let it dry, then gently removed the shoe strings.

Once everything has dried solid I'll hit it with the orbital sander with vacuum suction and smoothn it all out. After that I'll seal it with shellac and paint it concrete gray.
