I made high platforms with foam insulation. I found the 1/2" (or was it 9/16"?) stuff just the right height. (British OO scale, no roadbed)
I had to fit mine to tracks that didn't run straight, so I stripped everything off and pressed the foam down onto the rails. Then I used a compass to mark the platform sides the right distance (I forget what) from the rail dents and cut. The visible side could be detailed a bit, but I just painted it and marked the white tiles along the edges.
