More puff ball tree questions

Having in recent months made up a few hundred puff ball trees using Micro Mark's black fiber and Woodland Scenics turf materials, I'm now debating as to the best method to apply the trees to my layout. I have already put down the base ground material on the surface, but am not sure what to use to attach the balls to the surface. I have used 3M's #77 spray adhesive to create the balls, but I'm not comfortable trying to spray each puff ball as I go in the "planting" process ( very messy and smelly).

Turntable and Roundhouse Wiring

Once again, I do not have any "electric mojo" to do this without your help. The advice for the Shinnohara switches worked out great. Now, I'm on the last leg of wiring my railroad.

Here is the basic info: I have one lead track coming to the turntable. The turntable is a manual one with two wipers underneath (one wire from each soldered to the rails on the bridge) and there are three enginehouse tracks. None of this is wired at present.

First Bath Drill Local Freight Train Video and Blog

I made a blog post that includes a video of the operation of the 1st Bath Drill on my Erie Lackawanna theme layout. The blog has examples of the train consists and switches lists that I make in MS Excell. These have only the information for the switching operation. These are based on my experience as a BNSF yardmaster and Trainmaster.
