Reinhard,
When I did my pier areas also tried to cut stryene to fit along the tracks, there wasn't any problem where the tracks were straight but just couldn't get the curved section cut correctly and was never happy with the way it looked. I ended up using drywall compound in thin layers to build up to the height of the track. The drywall compound also has its problems as my layout is in an unfinished basement without any climate control. I'm now experiencing cracks in the pavement from the layout moving with the changes of the seasons.
Like the look of your backdrop, gives your structures the look of the waterfront.
