Well to muddy it a bit more after my big long winded explanation the reason I even asked about super elevation wasn’t for any other reason than to eliminate twist especially when coming off an elevated straight section into a elevated curve. Basically avoiding a under elevation.
I’ve seen many railroads where reverse, on under elevation is noticeable, including mine. A quarter, or half bubble of super elevation probably won’t cause a problem, and might not even be noticed.
At least with reverse elevation, you don’t get stringlining. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)
Many many many wise folk have stated; Keep it ALL level!
That never stopped me.
I have mild yet visible super elevation. With my short locos and cars there has never been a problem. My track is smooth. I have a jeweler’s eye, (wanna see it?) and I have corrected extraneous dips and doodles. Chuck’s Mallet had clearance issues but not tracking when he came over.
Use flex track and build as you go.
I’m glad you have a clean slate and can start right away!(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif)

I can start right away but progress will be slow.
