I've reached out to Peco and they suggested to add rail joiners and feeds to these areas. Just thought I'd post this so other people in the future...

Thanks! The most difficult part was carving the foam to embed the roadbed, next time I will use regular tracks and not the ones with the roadbed,...
It’s been a while but I wanted to update this thread with my finished diorama. I ended up “burying” the tracks with ballast/dirt. (y) There’s...
Can you share a link, I'd like to get my hands on one to try it out too, thanks!
