Yep, same Charlie - diluted white glue is my go-to as well. I'd actually thought about putting the strips under the higher rail and filling in with ballast, but currently I don't have that much leftover ballast and thought hiding under the roadbed should work.
I hadn't thought about building up ballast under the higher rail, but you're right, that would probably work well. I do like to secure the track ties to the roadbed with a smooth layer of clear silicone adhesive, so I guess I was concentrating on getting a nice flat surface prior to the track install and well before ballasting.
