Hi everyone, just started to ballast my track and noticed that I need to build the ballast up significantly higher on the outside to get over the edge of the cork. I've tried sanding the edges but this does not seem to help much. Is this buildup normal? Should I be sanding the edges?

Thanks in advance.
 
I prefer using a Dremel tool with a grinding wheel to remove the excess cork before installing the road bed.
