Hi Leon,
Leave the track loose after you've laid it where the transition is to be ..... then test a loco over it slowly seeing where the incline material needs to be trimmed under the track to allow a smooth transition, i use foam for building up inclines and take an old hacksaw blade under the track to trim parallel ..... keep testing the loco till your happy with it check the rails are level and straight as you do it, turn off the power to the layout when you are trimming.
