If you don’t like wood working, and don’t want to mess with foam, you might try 3D-printing the terrain for more model train layout. You can design your own modules or use some that are already available for downloading and printing at home. You can change the scale of the prints in one dimension if you want to lengthen them and thus reduce the grade on the ramps, or to make the pieces work in a plan you have created.
Here are some terrain parts you can print at home:
