My buddy and I are doing some mock ups with cardboard of the tall mountain that will be going on and up from the S curve tonight. In another forum it was suggested you can download an app for your android phone for levelling (it can be calibrated), which I have done and to my amazement the sucker seems to work.
I'm working in N scale so over hang, etc isn't quite as critical as in the larger scale. My road bed will be 2 1/2" wide even though there is only going to be one track quite close to the wall so if there is a derail there will be some rescue room. Also I'm planning some kind of foam lip to prevent spillage. But you can't tell from the picture, there is a nice soft pile rug on the floor; this room is on the second floor of the house that has no basement.
So far I've copied and printed out the suggestions here and in the other forum, so far everyone has been helpful.
Here is the link to the Android free leveling app, also includes gradient.
